Net or Wet Basketball Shoot-Out - Grab a partner and come on out for some old
fashioned fun. Lets shoot some hoops! Old Town will be hosting the 'Net or Wet
Shoot-Out' on Sunday, August 7th beginning at 12:30 p.m. This will be a double
elimination tournament. Two teams of two will shoot against each other. One player
on each team will be the shooter while the other player patiently awaits his or her
fate sitting beneath the water bucket lingering overhead. The team to make their
basket first will win the bracket and stay dry -- at the same time the basket will trip
the opposing team's bucket causing one of the opponents players to get soaked and
in turn move them into the loser's bracket. Tournament is open to all ages with no
age division of play. Partners can sign up in Old Glory Dance Hall through Saturday,
August 6th. Players must find their own partners. All skill levels welcome, this is just
for fun as long as you are willing to chance getting soaked. Boyfriends/Girlfriends,

What's Bussing Behind the School??? - This year marks the establishment year
of a Pollinator Plot in Old Town. We will be developing a small plot North of the
School House for our friends, the pollinators. This area will be seeded to various
native plants that are beneficial to bees, butterflies, and other native pollinators. The
first year the seeding will be done and weed management will be being performed to
see to it that our planting gets off to a good start. We will be providing some informational material on how to start your own pollinator garden! We will also have some
educational signage and plan to have a make it and take it workshop geared to helping our pollinators.! It may not look like much the first year or two, but we plan to
plant a few potted native plants to give you a good idea of what to watch for in the
coming years! Join us in Old Town to catch the latest buzz on pollinators!
