Eighteen bodies (some doing double-duty) worked 36 hours over two days to clear Redrooffs Road and Welcome Woods of Scotch Broom. About six truckloads were taken to a burn site where the Broom will be disposed of after rain. Many thanks to those hard-working Busters and their contribution to keeping our environment natural and a special thanks to Mary Beth Knechtel for organizing the event.

Dance Party on May 26. This will be a fantastic fun night sponsored by HBCoA with Monty Montego and the Rocksteady Crew. The genre is Jamaican rocksteady music. It could be described as pre-reggae music from Jamaica or even as Motown meets reggae. It’s definitely dance music. Doors at 7, music 7:30. Tickets now on sale at HMB General Store, Welcome Woods Market and Pastimes.
