An Orange in January!

Did you ever wonder how that delicious orange makes it all the way to Juneau in the middle of the winter? On January 3 at the Downtown Library in Juneau, families got together to celebrate citrus fruit and learn where it comes from!

 

Activities included: citrus taste-testing where people voted for their favorite citrus (lemon, grapefruit, or orange?);  and making orange-clove air fresheners!

We were joined by David Ottoson of Rainbow Foods and he read stories about citrus fruit and talked to us about how these fruits make it all the way to our grocery stores in the middle of the winter.

The next downtown library family night is on February 7th from 5:30-7pm and the theme is Fairy Tales! We hope to see you there!
