No worries, I figured you had read it wrong initially.
Off leash dogs with no recall knock years off my life lol.

We've been there a handful of times and we got rushed by off leash dogs. It's so scary, thankfully my fiance was there to pick our 50 lb dog up, but I can't do that if we're rushed by other large dogs.

Thank you!
Ugh, that's my biggest fear. I've been wanting to go to Mianus River Park but off leash dogs without recall scare me, I don't know what my dog would do if she got rushed by one.
Thankfully Scalzi is usually great with dogs on leash, I just wish I could take her to some other new places. Cummings Park is really big too, it's just a little further from us.

Oh wow that’s so cool! I hadn’t heard of the studio before. Are there a lot of people in the class? Do you work on small projects each session, or just one big one the whole semester?

Our dog is too. We've been to Mianus River Park and Montgomery Pinetum and most dogs we ran into were off-leash even though it's illegal. And most owners don't even bother recalling their dog. Very frustrating experience. At least Mianus was big enough to be pretty empty when we went except for the area near the parking lot. Montgomery I would not go to again, off-leash dogs around every corner.
We live in Waterside and John J Boccuzzi Park has a big grass area that's empty most of the time. However, if there are people with dogs, they will be off-leash so keep an eye out.

I would stay away from cranbury. The whole park is off leash. Dogs run up all the time.

Clay art Center - it’s in port Chester but I took one class and now I’m hooked on building pottery.

Check the library! Often libraries will have classes and programs that are free or low cost.

Dr. Poon @ Newfield Dental. They also have the nicest hygenists. Literally the nicest most non-judgmental office I’ve ever been to.

Norwalk Community College Spring 2023. Can search for other semesters. Just leave the subject blank and you’ll get all the available classes. Some notable options include piano, guitar, drawing, boating, various languages, computer science, yoga, photography, acting.
Search specific interests on Groupon.
And finally I’d just search specific interests in Google. That’s how I found a nearby adult ASL class when I was living in Hartford.

I’ve also been eying the schedule for Hudson Table. The price is holding me back a bit too.

Went there with my Polish friend once. They definitely are the real deal, they conversed together in fluent Polish and everything.

you start with learning how to use chisels to create a spoon. after that project, you create a box. after that, a stool using the lathe. i’m working on a live edge bench at the moment and it is beyond satisfying. the instructor is wonderful. there are still open slots for classes which are usually restricted to 4 people per class. i’m on my third semester. and have no plans of stopping. it’s addicting. and everyone in the class are so nice and super supportive of each persons victories. great sense of community
