What's Up Rec?
Fred Page Cup 2019 a huge success
The Town of Amherst experienced a large turnout each day the tournament was held. The Amherst Ramblers fought extremely hard and made the town proud of their work ethic and dedication.
On behalf of the Town of Amherst, we would like to thank all our dedicated employees and volunteers who helped make the Fred Page Cup a fantastic event here in Amherst. Take a peek at our Recreation Facebook Page for some albums showcasing the incredible week.
It truly is amazing what we can do when we work together.
May flowers are among us!
We are sure you can agree with us that it is nice to see the sun shining and the temperature rising into the double digits.
The spring rains, followed by a few sunny days sure have greened things up. Lots of trees are in flower, with leaves about to unfurl, and the tulip buds are bursting.

Growing season close at hand
Are you in a hurry to clear away any and all signs of winter from your lawn and gardens?
While the left-over plant debris from last year may be an eyesore to you, it is actually a home to many beneficial insects that bury themselves under plant debris to wait out the winter and only begin to emerge once the days begin to warm up.
Waiting an extra week to clean up your gardens may just save these valuable resources that are a key to the success of having a healthy garden. Soon the sun will warm up the earth in our gardens and we’ll be growing once again.
