This Weekend in Blythewood
July 12th, 13th and 14th


Our umbrellas need a rest but the summer showers keep coming!  Be sure to get out and enjoy our little town of Blythewood between the drops!!  There's never been a better time
for 'singing in the rain'!



Veg Out!







The rains have paid off for our local farmers and the summer's wonderful produce is coming in by the truck loads.  Be sure to come out to the Northeast Farmers Market next week to buy fresh and buy local!  There's lots to find at the farmers market from jellies and jams to fresh breads to spread it on.  Check out Linda Phillips and her take home and eat creations.  Delicious!!
Remember the NEFM is at two great locations this year...Doko Meadows on Monday and Lake Carolina on Thursday...both run from
3pm -7pm. 
Look who's coming to the market next week!  We hope to see you there, too!

Park on the Grass....PLEASE!

Now, when's the last time you heard THAT...but it's true at Doko Meadows.  Parking spaces have been purposefully built with sustainability in mind.  The grassed medians in front of The Manor and several other areas around the park are not just pretty to look at but allow rain water to slowly soak in and get back into the soil to resupply our groundwater.  Very clever on the part of our park designers, don't you think? So, go ahead.....the next time you come to the park for a walk or attend an event at The Manor...pull in and Park on the Grass....PLEASE!!

The only exception is the Farmers Market Lot....
feet only are welcome!


Saddle up!!




It's that time of year again!  The Blythewood Doko Rodeo is coming to town July 26th and 27th.  The excitement of bucking broncos and fast moving bulls will once again thrill the crowds at the former community center property.  Gates will open at 6:00 pm and the pageantry will begin at 7:00 pm.  Get your boots dusted off and plan to join the fun!

Blythewood Doko Rodeo
