Everyone is invited to join us on Friday, July 15, 10:30 am for “BJ the Balloon Twister” who will have fun with the children and introduce them to some balloon art. First she will teach them a few different “twists”, then she will let them learn by doing. Each child will be able to make their own balloon creations … a hat, an animal, or WHATEVER! Held at the PVMCC.
Rhonda’s Reptiles will be featured on Monday, July 18 at 10:30 am. Everyone is invited to come have a hands-on learning experience with reptiles. All the animals that will be shown have been handled on a regular basis, are used to people and very calm. Rhonda says: “If just one person is able to lose his or her fear of these amazing animals, it is well worth the time and effort.” Held at the PVMCC.
