Opening Weekend – HOT Weather, COOL POOL

That was a crazy hot holiday weekend we just had!  The pool definitely set a record for Memorial Day usage (believe us, the pool is not usually like that – this may have been the busiest day ever).  We hope you enjoyed the additions made to the facility.  We are thrilled that people loved the new fountains with our refurbished baby pool.  Rest assured, more improvements are on the way!

We were bit by the supply chain bug and our new furniture was delayed for over two months and we found out a week before the pool opening – argh.  We are working on alternative vendors to upgrade and offer more seating choices for members.  Speaking of seating choices, the Adirondack chairs proved to be a popular option on our new turf patio – apparently, there is a fine line between napping and reading comfortably.

All of the information below is on our website, so make sure you check it regularly for updates:  www.oldfarmpool.org

OK, now on to some “Cool” Administrative Stuff:
