Mystery Craft Fun

Submitted by Libby N on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 3:27pm

The Mystery Craft program was a big success. Children had 4 crafts to create - a mask, invisible writing, pretend binoculars and fingerprint art. The photo shows the fingerprint station which was the most popular craft.

We had a teen program Tuesday, in which 3 teens attended and created their own beaded bracelet.

Next Wednesday, magician Steve Burton will entertain the audience during his magic show. It will be at 3 PM in the Senior Center auditorium. Prepare to be amazed.

Next week at 3 PM on Wednesday, we will have a mystery craft program for children ages 5 to 12 years.

Tuesday there will be a Teen Craft program for teens 10 to 15 years. We'll create beaded bracelets.
