We had a Super Summer Reading Program !! This summer over one hundred

children signed up! Besides

reading and earning prizes, the

children put a few mosaic

squares on the mystery poster

each week. They did a great

job working toward revealing

the picture at left!

We had thirty-three teens in

the young adult program and

to them we handed out ninety-

one scratch tickets that would

win them a prize, or a chance to win one of four Amazon gift cards

or the Lego space shuttle set.

Our adults earned tickets for various tasks and used those to enter to

win one of six Amazon gift cards!

All of the special programs were enjoyed by the attendees and many

families are still taking advantage of our Museum and Park Passes.

Thank you to all who participated - it was a Super Summer!

be able to support this program on our behalf. Please let us know if this opportunity interests you.
