Immerse Yourself in the Change of Seasons at Our Upcoming Events
The beauty of North Carolina is undeniable; Visit NC sums up the lure of our great state, saying, “Our state has every terrain: the tallest peaks in the East, bustling and vibrant cities in the central region, and 300 miles of barrier-island beaches.” One of many memorable North Carolina experiences is witnessing the shift of seasons, which is sometimes subtle, often grand and always a joy. In today’s post, we’re covering the change of seasons in our region, shining a spotlight on a handful of upcoming events especially planned for residents of The Barclay, a senior living community in North Carolina. We also have an inspiring thought to share from our Life Enrichment Director. Keep reading for all the details.
The Gift of Four Distinct Seasons
Our community is perfectly situated in Charlotte’s highly sought-after SouthPark area, where each season brings something new to discover. Spring weather in our area is suitable for a vast range of outdoor activities, including wildflower hikes, horseback adventures, bike riding or attending one of Charlotte’s many festivals and events. Summertime means summer fun in the form of outdoor concerts, picking sunflowers at a local farm, picnics at Freedom Park and sun-filled days at Lake Norman. The glorious fall foliage attracts countless visitors to our state, eager to witness a cascade of color, from hues of luscious lemon to elegant emerald, burnt orange and deep magenta. There’s also apple picking and sporting events, still more festivals and pumpkin-themed entertainment. The flurry of sparkling lights and winter activities helps keep wintertime blues far away. Holiday parades, light displays and more keep the season merry.
