Thursday, July 17 – Chess in the Park

Playing chess can be a nice way to spend a weekend. For some, it is a stressful game, but for others, it is relaxing and a great way to exercise their mind. Finding someone to play with can be tough, or learning to play can be as well. Chess in the Park will be happening this Thursday from 6:30 PM to 8:45 PM and is a great way to find a worthy opponent, or perhaps find someone to help teach you how to play or better your strategy. There is also music to enjoy while you play, and you can come and go as you please. For more on Chess in the Park, make sure to click the link above.
