2011 HYDE PARK COMMUNITY CIRCLE ANNUAL REPORT
Statement of Intention: “The Hyde Park Community Circle is called for Hyde Park residents and friends who are interested in building community together. The Circle is called so that people can think and act creatively together, providing on-going support in a cooperative spirit.”
During 2011, the Hyde Park Community Circle sponsored four events in the interest of building community. March 19th, “Think Spring – Puppets and Plants” with the No Strings Marionette Co. and potting seedlings and seeds with Blue Fringe Gentian was held in the Hyde Park Elementary Gymnasium. July 18th, the Jedediah Hyde Ice Cream Social was held in front of the Court House. Our own local musicians provided music while volunteers served cookies and ice cream. Children’s activities were provided. The third event was Hyde Park Home Day, which was held on Main Street in Hyde Park on Saturday, September 17th. The activities started off with a grand parade down Main Street, ending with a bar-b-q by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and music by local musicians. During the day, we were entertained by our own WDEV Radio Rangers. The final event of the year was the Hyde Park Lighting Ceremony, which was held at St. Teresa’s Parish Hall with Frosty the Snowman entertaining families at the Lanpher Memorial Library on December 2nd. Around 200 lights were purchased in honor, celebration or memory of loved ones. A beautiful wreath made by Paine’s Christmas Trees adorned the lights and hung on the front of the Court House during the holiday season.
These events are always held on the same day of the week each year. Think Spring is held the third Saturday in March; Jedediah Hyde Ice Cream Social is held the third Monday evening in July; Hyde Park Home Day is held the third Saturday in September; and the Hyde Park Lighting Ceremony is held the first Friday of December. These events have proven quite successful in bringing people together and building community. The Circle always has an open invitation for Hyde Park residents to participate in these events and to help with the planning. For any questions or to join the Circle, people can contact Judy Clark at 888-4864 or Corella Gray at 888-3908.
