Day of Dead at The Ecology Center
As a community, we gathered to honor the music and culture that encourages us to approach life with kindness and generosity.
Our first Day of Dead event was a heartfelt collaboration between Music Never Stopped, The Ecology Center, and every one of you who joined us. A big thank you to Sunstroke Serenaders and Cats on the Bandstand for filling the day with vibrant tunes, and to our vendors who brought their unique offerings to our farm.
Remember, we're here for you. We invite you to visit us often, as the Farm Stand and our initiatives are a reflection of the music we celebrated. Your engagement is the heartbeat of our community. Together, let's keep the spirit of celebration alive, inspire each other, and work towards a brighter future. We eagerly anticipate your next visit.

That community is gorgeous!
I hope more cities and communities get involved with projects like this!
