Friday, September 23rd marked the first evening of Family Night at the Turf this year. 81 young children and families attended the event, many of whom had never been to Turf night before.
Many toys and activities are available at Turf nights including hula hoops, lots of balls, giant parachute, tricycles, soccer nets, and more. By far, the best part of the evening was spending time with family and making new friends.
You can also sign up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library at Turf Night. Children signed up receive a free book in the mail every month until they turn 5! Snacks, fun, and friends are always guaranteed at Turf Night. This event takes place every 4th Friday of the month from 4:30-6pm. See you there on October 28th!
Tuesday's family night at Gruening Park was attented by 65 children and family members, and 5 people were signed up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (Click here to check it out!)! The theme was "Under the Sea".
We made paper plate fish, went fishing for fish crackers for a snack, and were visited by Rich Mattson from DIPAC fish hatchery! He brought along some ocean creatures for everyone to get to know and also read a story about life under the sea.
78 people (and a few feathered friends) attended the kick-off of the 5th year of Family Night at the Children's Library in Ketchikan.
The stars of the evening were the raptors from the Wayne and Jerry Thompson Southeast Wildlife Center.
The next family night will be November 20th with guest speaker, Tiffany Cook, from Wells Fargo bank. Many thanks to Wells Fargo for providing pizza and refreshments; and to First Book for providing the books given out to each family.
