Barron Park May Fete Festival

Students and families, don’t miss the annual May Fete festival on Sunday from noon – 3pm at Bol Park! As well as the traditional Maypole ribbon wrapping ceremony, our own Barron Park historian will be there, along with a donkey visit, some old fashioned games, teen volleyball, Scouting troop 52 knot-tying lessons, pom pom making, learning to knit, other arts/craft activities, traditional music, pop up food tents, and Hawaiian ice! Buy tickets at the event and enter our raffle to win local prizes!

Looking forward to meeting up in our beautiful Bol Park, your planning team

Kellie Stafford and Star Teachout

 

PS: We will be including a teens-only volleyball set up with some Gunn volleyball players attending, so be sure to nudge your teens to attend. If anyone has an older teen who would like to help run some events we could still use a few to help with games and an art/craft table.  If they are taking Living Skills in the summer we can give them community service hours towards the required 15 hrs needed to complete the high school course. There may also be prep time next week if they are looking for more time.

At the August 16, 2022 meeting of the Barron Park Association Board of Directors the guest speakers were Garrett Pauls and Jodie Gerhardt from the Planning Department of the City of Palo Alto. The topic for the evening was a proposed development at 3400 El Camino Real, the site of the current Creekside Inn motel, Driftwood Deli and Cibo’s Restaurant. Many of the residents expressed their concerns about the impact of this project on the neighborhood.
