Parks & Recreation Monthly Newsletter for November

City of American Canyon, California sent this bulletin at 10/27/2020 05:20 PM PDT

November 2020

Together we can make a difference
Inspiring play in the every day.

Greetings,

To say this year has been unprecedented is an understatement. Our community has endured many unique and unexpected circumstances. Through all this, our team is more dedicated to taking care of our community than ever before. We've had to evolve quickly to find new ways to inspire fun, build a sense of community, and improve community health and wellness.

As an exciting part of that evolution, I'd like to introduce our very first Parks & Recreation Newsletter! We will deliver information about the next month's upcoming fun, community-building programs and activities to inspire health, wellness, and that great sense of community we have all come to love about American Canyon.

There is always opportunity in trying times like these; this is our silver lining, a dedicated monthly newsletter to share and highlight fantastic fun and health inspiring programs and events. We hope you enjoy it, and we sure miss seeing you!

Get outside, walk, stay active, and healthy!

Creighton Wright
Parks & Recreation Director

Halloween Safety Guidance

Participation in any event, occasion, or holiday is a personal choice. Halloween is no exception. Below is guidance that will help you find ways to participate in Halloween safely.

When making your plans for Halloween, the City of American Canyon recommends following the guidance provided below by public health professionals.

If you choose not to participate in door-to-door trick-or-treating, turn off your porch light. You may also want to print out our graphic to let the kiddo's know you aren't participating this year. Simply print and tape it over your doorbell and/or tape it onto your front door.

Final Week of Activities in our Spooktacular October!

There's still time to participate in our first Virtual Halloween Costume Contest! This event is sponsored by Redwood Credit Union and American Canyon Orthodontics.

Visit our Facebook post inviting you to enter into the contest.
Simply reply to that post with a photo of you or your family in costume.

November Activities and Events

November is the perfect time to come together and make a difference. We have collected an assortment of possibilities to help inspire you on our November Events Website Page. Check out the Fall Inspirations we’ve collected to learn some cool leaf art and crafts. Our Fall Flavor Recipes sample will help you get those flavors mixed up perfectly to include in our very first Community Cookbook. The resources we’ve included to explore the Hygge (pronounced hyoo-guh) Way of Life are sure to help you slow down and mindfully enjoy your life’s moments.

All month long, we invite you to submit your favorite fall recipes to our Community Cookbook, which will be shared as an online resource for all to enjoy. We also challenge you to add your creation to the community’s Painted Rocks Thankful Caterpillar. We have also planned a host of ways to celebrate Veterans Day this year!
