It’s Broom Busting week. What with the late spring, the broom is just starting to flower and by the week of May 7 to 11 it should be easy to spot. Come join the volunteers as they tackle Redrooffs Road and Connor Park on Wednesday, May 9, and Welcome Woods on Saturday, May 12. Plan for 10 a.m. to 12 noon on both days. On Wednesday, meet at Coopers Green picnic table and on Saturday at the Welcome Woods Store. Bring your loppers and gloves, sunscreen and bug spray. Mary Beth Knechtel of Halfmoon Bay Community Association will map out a plan of attack. Of course, you can bust broom anytime you spot it on your rambles. To find out more, contact Knechtel at [email protected].
There’s a Dance Party May 26 with Monty Montego and the Rocksteady Crew playing Jamaican music that could be described as pre-reggae music from Jamaica or even as Motown meets reggae. It’s definitely dance music. Doors open at 7 p.m. with music starting at 7:30 p.m. This will be a fantastic fun night. Tickets are at HMB General Store, Welcome Woods Market and Pastimes.
Pickleball is this and every Wednesday, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Halfmoon Bay Elementary School, Northwood Road.
