If you're out and about in Wheaton today, keep an eye out for the DPCC Recreation Bus. Residents are currently enjoying a tour of the vibrant fall colors around town. The Recreation Department has truly gone above and beyond to make this outing memorable, featuring autumn decorations, music, and scavenger hunt for added fun!
The bus is even infused with a refreshing autumn scent. 🍁🍂🎃
