The Old Library by Lake Afton

Only in Yardley can you experience this kind of 250th birthday celebration. The Yardley Historical Association has 105 rubber duckies ready to float out on Lake Afton bearing your wishes for the future.&nbsp; They can be wishes for Yardley, America, the Earth, the Universe, or you. You can write your wishes right on your duck (markers will be on hand) or write a longer message on paper and tie it around your duck's neck (we'll have those supplies, too.) When your duck is ready, you&nbsp; can place it in the Lake.&nbsp; Your wish afloat.A canoeist will be on the water in case some herding is needed and will, of course gather the ducks at the end of the event.&nbsp; Polluting Lake Afton with plastic ducks is not our wish. If you would like to wait for the Float to end, you may take your duck home with you.Come to this FREE, only-in-Yardley event before you head to all the fireworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;Let's herald 250 years of history together in the heart of Yardley.

You Don't Have to Be Funny to Start
Most people who walk into their first improv class say the same thing on the way there: "I'm going to be the worst one."
They're usually wrong. And by week two, they're the ones telling their friends to sign up.
<a href="unscriptedproductions.com/service-page/summer-beginner-improv-class-adults?referral=service_list_widget" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Summer Beginner Improv</a> at Unscripted Productions is four Wednesday nights of learning to think on your feet, stop overthinking, and actually have fun with a room full of strangers who showed up for the exact same reason you did.
No experience. No audition. No pressure to be the funny one.
July 8 &ndash; July 29 | Wednesdays 7&ndash;8:30pm 
Bucks County | $160 for all four sessions
Spots are limited &mdash; this one fills up every time.<a href="unscriptedproductions.com/service-page/summer-beginner-improv-class-adults?referral=service_list_widget" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Register now at online</a>
