Our celebration of the 34th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act was August 2, 2024 at Dunn Pond State Park in Gardner. We had not celebrated here since 2019. Even though it was another hot day, everyone had a great time!
Waypoint Adventure (hiking), All Out Adventures (kayaking) and DCR Universal Access Program partnered to supply accessible chairs and guides for hiking, as well as kayaking for anyone who wanted to go. Look at the smile on Tammy’s face in the photos if you want to know what that means.
Tommy Filiault Band entertained us all afternoon! We have enjoyed their music in Gardner since at least 2011!
