Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Parks and Recreation. August edition of Part two cast. I'm Rog and.

Roger
Todd and we have a great show coming up for you. Let me give you a kind of a hint of what we're going to be talking about, a lot of exciting things. We're going to give you information about our upcoming events, our brand new program guide for Fall, Spring and Winter. We're going to be talking about rock and river, how you can still take part in rock and river until the end of the season.
00;00;34;04 - 00;00;51;15
Roger
We're going to talk about athletics and so much more, so I guess I'll just jump right into it. We have some great special events coming up this month. Our first one is the free pop up play day. We've been doing those events throughout the community. This next one is going to be at Lake Creek Park, which is next to Lake Creek Pool.
00;00;51;24 - 00;01;05;16
Roger
That's going to happen Saturday, August 13th, from 5 to 7 p.m.. What's really cool is you get free access to Lake Creek Pool when you come to this thing. Also, there are foods and games and and pool games and all sorts.
00;01;05;16 - 00;01;08;20
Todd
Established just to make note. This is the final pop up.
00;01;08;20 - 00;01;12;28
Roger
Oh, that's right, Tonya. That's right. Final pop up play day of the year that.
00;01;12;28 - 00;01;15;08
Todd
I cool off at the pool. So come on out.
00;01;15;13 - 00;01;36;06
Roger
Yeah, you definitely can't beat that. And then next up is our next Friday fun nights at Yonder Point. Our theme this time was Under the Big Top. It happens August 19th from 730 to 930. You can enjoy some snacks, refreshments. And we're going to actually show the movie The Greatest Showman. And it's going to be a sing along versions.
00;01;36;07 - 00;01;53;16

00;01;57;10 - 00;02;01;02
Todd
Who can you get a taste of the singing?
00;02;01;22 - 00;02;21;14
Roger
This is the greatest show. And there are much better than the way I sing. You know, the album was like number one on iTunes for almost two years. So if you haven't seen The Greatest Showman, come on out and see that it's great with your family. It's going to be awesome. Then we have another Yonder's point. We do it every two weeks on Fridays.
00;02;21;14 - 00;02;36;04
Roger
The next theme is Fiesta De Noche and it's going to be a Spanish theme. And that's happening Friday, September 9th, 730 to 930 as well. So Todd is going to tell you all about our new program guide coming out.
00;02;36;06 - 00;03;06;13

That's it all. We called out the Bible of Parks and Recreation. Anything you ever want to know? Everything about Parks and Rec is in that program guide. And that kind of brings me back to Rock and River Water Park. You still have some time to cool off at the park the end of the season, operating hours can be found at roundrockrecreation.gov/river

And if you haven't jumped off of the quarry platform, it's a 12 foot jump.
00;03;49;13 - 00;03;50;15
Todd
Yeah, Roger loves that one.
00;03;50;15 - 00;03;54;23
