⚠️ WARNING: Family Field Day may now contain excessive horsepower. ⚠️

You asked for fun activities at Family Field Day… so we casually invited 1 Mega Ark MEGA TRUCKS. 😎🛻

That means:
✔ Giant trucks
✔ Big tires
✔ Cool photo ops
✔ Kids losing their minds with excitement
✔ Adults pretending they’re “just looking”

Bring the family out to see giant trucks up close, snap some photos, and let the kids experience their “future monster truck driver” era. 😎

We are so excited to partner with Smart Possibilities for two new yoga classes: Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga - and you can preview them on May 29! No prior experience is needed, and you do not need to register for the preview day.

https://tinyurl.com/SimsYogaClasses for more information.

Gentle Yoga | 9:15 - 10 am
Chair Yoga | 10:15 - 11 am

Chair Yoga: Move with Ease
A gentle, accessible class designed to help you move more comfortably in your daily life. Using the support of a chair, participants will improve mobility, flexibility, and light strength through simple, guided movements.

This class is ideal for those who prefer seated options or are looking for a slower, more supported approach to movement.

Gentle Yoga: Stretch, Relax, and Restore
A slow-paced, primarily floor-based class designed to help you release tension, improve flexibility, and fully unwind. Through gentle stretching and guided relaxation, participants will ease tight muscles, calm the nervous system, and leave feeling more relaxed and refreshed.

This class takes place on the floor using a mat (provided, or bring your own). Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace, with options to adjust intensity or rest as needed.

You will need to sign a waiver to participate. Pick one up any time at the front desk, or come 15 minutes early to sign on the day of class.
