DANVILLE, CA — It may be cold and rainy now, but spring and summer are just around the corner. On Feb. 4, the Town of Danville will host its 13th annual Recreation & Expo Open House to highlight all the activities it is offering.

Class instructors and town staff will be spread out over three buildings from 10-1 to answer questions about all the different courses, camps, and activities they are offering. The same activities will be highlighted in the spring activity guide. Starting Jan. 25, the guide will be mailed to Danville, Alamo and Diablo residents starting Jan. 25, and will be available online.

Registration for spring programs, summer camps and aquatics begins on February 14. Open registration for all other spring programs will begin on February 21.
