ALACHUA ‒ The City of Alachua Recreation and Culture Department congratulates Momentum Dance for taking first place in the Annual City of Alachua Christmas Parade. We would also like to congratulate Canvas Church for coming in second and Swamp Bots for claiming the third-place spot.
In other Recreation and Culture news, Legacy Park Multipurpose Center Gym hosted the first 399 youth Sports basketball practices of the winter 2023 season. We are looking forward to what the season has to bring and watching our youth grow and learn skills and sportsmanship under the guidance of our wonderful volunteers. Joining a sport is a great way to make friends, meet mentors and become a part of your community.
We also hosted the Alachua Raiders Youth Football and Cheer Banquet. The organization literally pulled out the red carpet for the players and parents. A great time was had by all and trophies and rings were given out.
Looking forward to January, the City of Alachua will hold its Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration on Monday Jan. 15 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Cleather H. Hathcock Community Center. There will be a special performance by 1000 Voices of Florida. Alachua’s Adrian Peterson, College Football Hall of Fame Inductee, will be speaking. There will be performances, speakers from the community and free lunch provided. All are welcome. Please plan on attending.
Sprout Squad is looking for kids ages 10-14 who want to learn to grow veggies! If your child is interested, email Vanessa@craftygemini.com.
Remember, Legacy Park Multipurpose Center also hosts free Zumba classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is free Bingo at the Hathcock Community Center Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. There will not be Bingo on Dec. 20 or Dec. 27 due to the holidays.
Finally, visit the City of Alachua’s Recreation and Culture Departments Facebook page to stay up-to-date on all exciting upcoming events!
Happy holidays from the City of Alachua Recreation Department.
