Things have been busy at Brookside through the winter and early spring! One of the most fun and unique was the Arts Stroll on April 26 and 27, when artist Brooksiders opened their homes to show their work to their neighbors. Kudos to Jim Bowen, Susan Bunbury, Caroline and Greg Anderson, Andy Howard, Jeannine Lavoie and Rich Ferreira, and Paul and Mary Ellen Split for their exceptional work (and in the case of Mary Ellen, tasty tea and homemade scones)! And kudos to the 35+ Brooksiders who enjoyed strolling, seeing, kibbitzing, and nibbling!
During the winter, there were Monday nights at the Mashpee Cinema, prime rib nights at the VFW, bowling at Timber Lanes in Falmouth, tech talks in the Community Room, music bingo at the Bridgeview Grill, and of course, viewing the eclipse from the village green. Lots to do, nice people to do it with, and a great variety of activities. Even a poetry workshop with Jack DeWitt!
Mark your calendars for the annual pool opening party on June 8; Father’s Day coffee and donuts on June 16; pinballs and meatballs at the Arcade Alley and Bog Tavern on May 16.
And take yourselves out to the ballgame, and cheer on last year’s Cape Cod Baseball League champions, the Bourne Braves, June 15, 6:00 PM, Cape Cod Tech Field!
Don’t miss a walk in our Four Ponds Conservation Area, 280 acres of ponds, wetlands, and pine forests. Trails for every level of skill/interest. For the more experienced hiker, Pine Trail and the Town Forest trail are off Barlows Landing Rd. You don’t need to travel far to experience the joy of a different, beautiful, natural environment!
