Late-summer fun includes Art on the Commons
Dear Neighbors:
As we hesitate to say goodbye to the slower pace and longer days of summer, there’s something magical about the promise of fall. A new school year beckons, and kids of all ages are eager to open new chapters, learn amazing things and reconnect with friends and educators.
Before the air cools and our city comes alive with autumn hues, we have a couple of summertime favorites left on our calendars.
Rosewood Arts Center’s premier annual event, Art on the Commons, is celebrating its 36th anniversary this year. Join us from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Lincoln Park Civic Commons for a day filled with art, food, music and family fun.
Labor Day weekend in Kettering offers an array of activities to savor the last days of summer. Take one last dip into fun at Adventure Reef Water Par or cool off at the J.F. Kennedy Park Splash Pad. Try your hand at games of chance and enjoy catching up with friends and neighbors at AlterFest.
And enjoy this year’s Holiday at Home festivities on Sept. 1 and 2 for family games, free live music, arts and crafts, food trucks, car shows and the best hometown parade around. This year’s Holiday at Home theme is “Hometown Celebrities.”
Speaking of celebrities, former Councilman Bruce Duke will be this year’s Grand Marshal, and renowned actor
Gary Sandy, a Fairmont High School graduate, will preside as Honorary Grand Marshal.

Thank you for making Kettering your community of choice. Kettering is home because of its rich history, great schools and caring residents.
The small-town feel and community spirit are constant reminders that there is nowhere else I’d rather live. I look forward to seeing you soon.
