While some in town bemoan there is nothing to do here, I had out-of-town company for several days and they were most impressed at all the opportunties. They are city people and they enjoyed and appreciated the peaceful quiet, the lack of excess traffic to get places and all the options they had. They took in a round of golf, used beach volleyball and basketball courts, never had to pay for parking and loved all the walking and biking paths.

Coffee row folks marvel at all there is to do in Unity. In fact, they have outlined some of the many things you can take in during a week. Mondays, come watch a ball game or stroll or bike through all of the wonderful paths in town. Tuesdays, you head to the pool for a swim and/or aqua sizes or join in the Tuesday night fun golf night. Wednesdays, you can take in the Unity Lions 鈥渃hase the ace鈥� offering food, beverages and a chance to win with the jackpot nearing $2,000. Thursday, the farmers market is at the Adanac Hall on the museum grounds. Fridays, you can always take in a new release at the theatre. Saturdays, check out the downtown deals and enjoy a meal out. Sundays, check out a service at a local church or take in the museum or perhaps volunteer there. This list includes only things to do on an average week, however 鈥渞owers鈥� know there are always events hosted in town to also include on the 鈥渢o do鈥� list that might include a barbecue, a milestone birthday party, a celebration shower, one of the events hosted at Parkview Place and so much more.
