Concert on the green

Saturday night we met our sweet friends, the Rice and Cassida families, at the concert on the green.  We had a fantastic time!  Stapleton's Founders Green is a large space of grass, about the size of a football field, near the town center that is used to host community events.  In the summer months it hosts the Farmer's Market (every Sunday morning), concerts on the green (every other Saturday night), movies on the green (every other Friday night at dusk), Sweet Williams Market (a small, monthly craft and antique fair) and many impromptu family gatherings.  Kids love the green because it is a wide open space with a natural slope at one end where they can literally run themselves ragged.

We brought a picnic dinner (ice cream for our family since we had a really late lunch) and enjoyed the cool summer breeze before the concert started.  The kids ran, played and danced to their hearts content.  It was a wonderfully relaxing family evening.

Great weather, family, friends, big band, football tossing and ice cream....what more could you ask for on a Saturday night?
