MARBLE MAZE: This is a fun game to make using flexible straws and plenty of tape. You can create your own maze or use a pattern that we will have here for you. The bends in the straws make perfect corners for the marble to roll around. This is an activity just right for a summer night so come make one with us!

Please bring your creativity, a competitive spirit, and a shirt box with you on Monday, July 11^th, at 6:30pm.  This is a summer reading event geared for children entering kindergarten through grade 5.  Registration is required. 

T/WEEN FRISBEE & PLAYSHOP with TODD BRODEUR: Two-time Freestyle Frisbee Champion, Todd Brodeur, educates, entertains and motivates his audience with captivating Frisbee shows and interactive playshops.

World Class Frisbee Shows and Playshops teaches the next generation new ways to learn Frisbee skills that increase hand-eye coordination and all will have fun and success while exercising.

Frisbee flipping has been part of American pop culture for over 50 years. Across the globe, the popularity of Frisbee sports has never been greater.
