PRESCOTT – Our fall preview has been a nice change in weather. And a chance to give the air conditioner a break. Of course, we all know from experience that the warm weather will return, probably as soon as school starts, which for Prescott is Sept. 2. Once again, we will hear the youthful enthusiasm of the students in the halls and the bells of class changes as well as more traffic in the parking lot. Please remember to use caution when entering and leaving the Gathering Place.

Coming activities:

Wednesday, Aug. 27: Cards Day, come and play Euchre at 12:30 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 28: Pickleball players gather for play at the courts on Elm Street across from the Prescott Intermediate School at 8:30 a.m. Canasta will be played at 12:30 p.m. at the Gathering Place. The rescheduled boat trip on the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers takes place today at 1 p.m. Those who wish to carpool to the location can meet at 12:45 p.m. at the Gathering Place. Advanced registration is required.

Tuesday, Sept. 2: Gathering Place will be closed, first full day of school. Pickleball will be played at the courts on Elm Street across from the Prescott Intermediate school at 8:30 a.m.
