After checking with Chat GPT, I decided to go and see the bridge, soft opening was August 26th, 2025 where the grand opening will be September 27th, 2025. I got here early after breakfast and SELF haircut, spending an hour walking on the bridge to YMCA and back, about a mile, I parked the car in Sherwood High School.

Sherwood - Robin Hood Festival

 


A friend who lives in Sherwood told us about this annual festival, as always we come early to get the parking spot that is close to the venue. We also found a decent Mexican restaurant nearby. The first festival was in 1954.
