The Commons is gearing up for summer, and here's a preview: 

Summer Hours: 
Beginning June 1st, The Commons is shifting to summer hours.

• Tuesday through Friday, 9am to 3pm
• Saturday, 9am-12pm

Cinnamon Saturdays: 
Come down on June 10th, July 15th, and August 12th for "Cinnamon Saturday" and get delicious cinnamon rolls while enjoying conversation with others in our community!  Our usual menu of tea, coffee, and espresso drinks will also be available. 

Summer Exercise: 
The twice-weekly exercise class is on hiatus during the summer, but that group will be hiking together throughout the summer and invite you to join them. The first hike will be up the East Rosebud trail on June 14th. Meet at the Commons at 8am. 

Summer Reading: 
Children's story hour is also on summer break, but the Stillwater County Library is stepping in to fill the gap by bringing their summer reading program to Absarokee! Kids will build birdhouses, go on a town scavenger hunt, and help clean up an area of town. Click here to see all the info and print a registration form for your kids. 

Come watch an artist at work! Thelma Senrud-Lukkes will give an oil painting demonstration at the Commons on Tuesday, May 16th at 10am and 6pm.  This is a great opportunity for all ages to see the painting process, ask questions, and be inspired by Thelma's amazing ability and love for art.  Refreshments will be served and a door prize given. 

Thelma has been giving private painting lessons, teaching Adult Ed, and giving lectures and demos since 1983. She retired to Absarokee in 2011 and is working to establish the Absarokee Art Academy, which will make available in-depth study of oil painting and drawing. Her desire is to provide a rewarding experience for anyone in our community who is interested in art.
