Hamburg Fair - August 18, 19 & 20

Celebrating 120 years with more to do and see! The Hamburg Fair Association reminds residents to use one of the three official parking locations (Reynolds Subaru, Lyme Congreational Church and the Lyme Town Hall / Lyme School). Street parking will result in an $85 vehicle ticket and your vehicle may be towed. The proceeds from each parking lot support a different local nonprofit organization.  There will be free shuttlebus service from Lyme Town Hall and Lyme School. 

Parks & Recreation Fall Programs for Children & Adults

Registration has begun for the fall Parks & Recreation programs.  In addition, work started today on some planned updates for Cross Lane Park: the basketball courts and two tennis courts will be refurbished, and the third tennis court will be turned into four pickleball courts. Due to the extensive amount of work, the courts will not be open to the public for several weeks. We'll keep you posted with updates.
