April 9 – April’s that sweet spot where spring really starts showing off—longer days, warmer weather, and just enough sunshine to shake off those winter blues. Whether you’re heading out for spring break adventures or just soaking in the slower pace at home, it’s the perfect time to hit refresh. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and everything feels just a little lighter.

Here are some events happening in our communities and beyond:

There will be a closing reception: “Imaginative Interlude” on May 25 at The Arts Nest in Lake Huntington, showcasing local artists Alzamora and Lockwood from 2-4pm. Experience the vibrant world of color, pattern, and texture that these talented artists have crafted together. As part of the closing celebration, Alzamora and Lockwood will be doing a live demonstration, offering insights into their creative process and techniques!
