Soak up the Last Days of Summer

As summer gradually begins to wind down and students begin to contemplate their return to the classroom, there are still plenty of ways families can enjoy the final weeks of summer and sunshine in Meridian.

If you haven’t already, come join us for CableONE Movie Night. Every Friday night through the end of August, free outdoor movies will be shown at dusk at Settlers Park. Grab the entire family, some blankets, food and come out and enjoy this great Meridian tradition on our 30-foot inflatable screen.

While you and your family still have a few days off together, go out and spend some time exploring Meridian’s parks. You could play tennis, soccer, horseshoes or bocce ball or maybe you’d rather cool off at our splash pad or try your hand at fishing in one or our ponds. With 20 unique parks in our community there is a nearly endless combination of amenities, activities and unique atmospheres for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to CableOne Movie Night and enjoying our tremendous parks, I invite you to join us on August 2nd at the Speedway Dairy Barn for the 34th Annual Meridian Firefighter’s Association Salmon BBQ. This is truly one of my favorite events of the year as our firefighters serve up some delicious salmon! All proceeds go to the Meridian Firefighters Association and the Meridian Burn Out Fund, which provides emergency assistance to families and individuals who are impacted by fire and other disasters. This is certainly a cause worth our time and support.

These are just some of the great things taking place in our community as we close out the summer and head into fall. To learn more about the events taking place in our community, be sure to check out our This Week in Meridian videos or the community calendar on our website at www.meridiancity.org. Liking us on Facebook is also an excellent way to stay in touch and see all of the fun things to do in our community this fall.
