Get your Saturdays off to a great start with our second 3 week session of Zumba Gold Classes. We are thrilled to be collaborating with the Town of Marbletown Parks, Trails and Recreation Department to offer you these exercise classes free of charge.

Zumba Gold is a dance fitness program instructed by licensed instructor, Donna Ebanks and is suited for anyone needing lower impact Zumba classes. This class is slower paced and will focus on balance, coordination and flexibility. Its a great way for seniors, anyone with mobility issues, or those just beginning their fitness journey, to get started.

*You should check with your doctor before starting this or any exercise program.*

Registration is required for each class.

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am – 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.
