We will be moving on Friday, July 30. We hope to be in our new office space by Friday, August 13!
Don't forget to tell your friends about our move and don't forget to come by and visit!
Thank you to everyone who came out to make Child Fest 2010 a BIG Success! Everyone had a great time!
We would also like to thank all the vendors that came out to support Child Fest 2010~ You all had great information to give out and had awesome activities!!
We would also like to thank all the committee members, donors, and sponsors that helped make Child Fest 2010 a very BIG Success!! Without you we couldn't have made it what it was!!
Snow on the ground, snow on the ground, everybody get out and play in the snow on the ground!!
Guess I've been watching too much American Idol~ but seriously!!
GET OUT AND PLAY IN THE SNOW!!
What a great way to exercise while playing!! Tired of the same old "roll a ball in the snow" to make snow people?! Get the sand buckets out and make "Snow Castles"! If you don't have any we have some in our lending library! Just ask us for the sand molds!
Don't forget... you can also use the plastic shoe boxes if you want to make a snow fort.
But if you just have to make something out of a snowball.. just make a bunch and lay them on the ground and make a snow caterpillar!
Either way~ GET OUT AND PLAY IN THE SNOW!!
