It was a beautiful afternoon at Noble View Saturday as we brought back the Laurel Weekend tradition, gathering to celebrate mountain laurel season. Thirty-eight guests and volunteers enjoyed the gorgeous views and a short hike to admire the laurels followed by chili, cornbread, lemonade and strawberry shortcake outdoors on the picnic tables. Afterward, we took another short hike to a neighbor's property to discover their gorgeous field of mountain laurels. Finally, we enjoyed s'mores around the campfire.

If you missed it, feel free to come up anytime to walk the miles of trails or do the StoryWalk^® with children, featuring "We Are Water Protectors" by Carole Lindstrom. The mountain laurels will be likely be blooming for weeks.
