Free Family Fun Hour Fitchburg Public Library

Thank you to all of you who came out and joined us at our FIRST Family Fun Hour at the Fitchburg Public Library. We had so much fun and families walked away with FUN CUPS, creatively designed by their children, that were full of fun ideas of things to do when you shut off the TV, computers and video games. They were also able to plant seeds to grow their very own healthy fruits and vegetables, tending to those plants are yet another activity that they can do with their TV free time.

Also, thank you to Gardening Places and the MOC Peer Leaders for their amazing contributions.

It was a success because you showed up and participated! You are awesome!!! Thank you again.

Next Family Fun Hour at Fitchburg Public Library is FEBRUARY 21, 2013 from 5-6p.
