The Arts and Recreation program proved to be another eventful time for children. They created many projects; some samples are on display in the Town Hall. We would like to thank all who saved plastic containers, bottles, etc. for our use. The children had fun developing new uses for these items, such as desk sets, building blocks, etc.
The program ended on August 26 so we no longer need any more supplies. However, if you wish to continue to save these, we are currently working on more projects for next year. Contact Tammy Osterhout at 658-2924 for pick-up if needed, or things can be dropped off at her home at 20 Park Avenue, Berlin. Please do not drop them off at the Town Hall.
The children really enjoyed our new facilities; we used our new parachute for some outside activities, sidewalk chalk for decorating the sidewalk and entrance way, kickball on the field or just walked around enjoying the weather and sunshine. On the last day we had our annual water balloon fight with a “twist,” the children first played shaving cream tag where they chased each other with handfuls of shaving cream. After the tag and water balloon fight, they enjoyed our annual make your own sundae party and watched the movie “Horton Hears a Who.”
