Happy Friday, Antioch!
I hope you had a great week!
Don’t worry about making plans for tomorrow night, I’ve taken care of that for you! I think you should head to downtown Antioch to enjoy the amenities of Sequoit Creek Park and listen to live music from local musician, the Comeback Kid, Keith Christophersen Jr., TCK (from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.), then enjoy dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants in Downtown Antioch! Tomorrow will be a beautiful day to enjoy all that Downtown Antioch has to offer. I hope to see you there!
Also at the park, the Village’s Parks and Recreation Department has been hosting yoga classes at Sequoit Creek Park from Trillium Yoga! These yoga sessions are every weekend through the end of next month.

Speaking of Sequoit Creek Park, I wanted to let you know now that the weather is getting cooler, the last day the splash pad will be operating will be Sunday, October 13th. The splash pad will be closed for the season starting Monday, October 14th.
This sounds like fun! Raymond Chevrolet Kia is hosting the 1st Annual Cars and Coffee Fall Classic tomorrow, September 28th at their dealership – 118 Route 173, Antioch.
