Community members in Taylorville have a full slate of events to enjoy at local parks. Among them are the senior lunch and the Community Unity concert, which both are scheduled for this week.  The build-up continues, as well, to the special concert series event the night before Independence Day.

Evan Mitchell, the Taylorville Park District’s recreation director, has played a notable role in planning these events.  He says the next senior lunch, set for Thursday, features fried chicken as the main dish. 

Attention then turns to the Community Unity concert this Saturday at 4 p.m.  It’s a non-denominational faith-based concert that has attracted large crowds in the past. 

On July 3, the Park District hosts the summer concert series’ next event.  It’s meant to celebrate the United States’ 250 years of independence.  This occasion will feature a car show, bounce house, petting zoo, and more. 

Separate from events, the Taylorville Park District has posted renderings of the design of the future Manners Park pool to their website, www.taylorvilleparkdistrict.com. 

More information on the Taylorville Park District is available on their website, by calling (217) 824-3110, or by visiting their new Facebook page, www.facebook.com/taylorvilleparkdistrict.
