Together Time continues in July
- July 9, from 2 pm - 3 pm we will be making dinosaur stencil paintings.
It's going to be T-Rexcellent!
NOTE: this event will require the use of acrylic paint and brushes
A bashful dinosaur enlists her friends and the audience to help her overcome her shyness and find her voice just in time for the annual Dino Day Talent Show. Her friend, Thunder Roar Rex discovers that he doesn't need to be loud to feel good about himself, and Bobby the beat-boxing Brontosaurus realizes that he doesn't need to have all the answers all the time. Together, they learn how to work as a team to put on a great talent show.
*Due to weather, this event will be rescheduled.* "Pop" on in for our summer bubble party! We will have multiple bubble stations and sidewalk chalk for all to use! This outdoor event is for children of all ages!
Please remember to wear your sunscreen/bug spray and bring plenty of water! No tickets or registration required.
