During these times of extreme heat and humidity, it is important to stay cool and hydrated! We offer a nice place to sit and cool off as well as free drinking water!

Stay cool! Wear lightweight, loose fitting clothing with dense fibers and sun blocking hats. The more skin the clothing covers the better! Apply sunscreen, and stick to the shade when possible! Be sure to drink plenty of water and electrolytes! and if you are working in this heat take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning!
