Community Calendar:
Laurelin is getting ready to celebrate two major milestones. Green Dragon Friday started nine years ago, and that’s an occasion worth two parties. The warm up party is this Friday and includes competitions, a parade, riddles, and a lecture. The Forest of OAKS will mark 3 years on Saturday with their anniversary concert, featuring 7 of the bands that have played in their monthly series over the past year.
