I noticed Lily Dale residents and visitors strolling the quiet streets of Lily Dale and enjoying the cooler evening air. I heard the hammering and sawing of last minute home renovations.

The next day, the Tibetan monks will begin the creation of a Sand Mandala demonstrating NonPermanence and the importance of the Now. And the season will flash by with:

- a full schedule of mediumship, healing, workshops, lectures, and other activities
- many hearts uplifted (25,000 to 30,000 people visiting over the course of two months)
- and everyone looking forward to the following year of sacred time together in this special place called Lily Dale.
