For the past year, the US Army Corps of Engineers Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center has been responding to the pandemic by installing Story Walks along the Cape Cod Canal.
Park Ranger Samantha Gray said that when the pandemic hit last spring, the visitor centerâs programming became limited. The Story Walks began as a way to continue to engage families as they traversed along the canal.
The stories have been stretched out along a series of wooden posts, one page per post.
Last summer, a total of four stories were featured between July and October.
Ms. Gray said that the current story, Micha Archerâs âWonder Walkers,â is the second of the season. From mid-April through mid-May Eileen Spinelliâs âOne Earthâ was featured, to tie into Earth Day.
First Church is still here for you!

The
First Church Sandwich at 136 Main Street may be closed, but the church members are still reaching out to help the Community. Their Outreach Committee teamed up with
Cool Breeze Mechanical, a local HVAC company, to purchase 40 new backpacks to donate to the
Sandwich Public Schools for students in need.
Since April, First Church has been working with the
Rev. Pam Wannie and the staff of Duffy House to provide a hearty breakfast for homeless folks in Hyannis.
On Mondays and Fridays, they deliver 20 hot meals for distribution and help stock a small food pantry to be used for further needs. Generous donations of money, food and beverages from First Church members will help this ministry continue in the future.
