The Walnut Creek Village, launching in early 2025, is holding a pre-launch event, “Smell the Roses Walk,” at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 22. The walk is sponsored by Sports Basement (1881 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek), which is the meeting place for the start of the walk. All seniors in the community are invited to join to smell the roses along with the Walnut Creek Village supporters and fans, including the Walnut Creek Newcomers Group as well as members of the Lamorinda Village and the Clayton Valley Village. Participants will walk from Sports Basement to the Heather Farms Rose Garden.
