SATURDAYS ARE KRAFT DAYS
If you are between the ages of seven and 13 and you love glitter glue, googly eyes and all the wacky ways you can use pipe cleaners, then drop by the Rollin Art Centre for a fun craft every Saturday afternoon from 1-3 p.m., where you will be creating some fun memories and souvenirs in theme with the season.
No registration required—just come on by. The cost is $15. Every Saturday 1-3 p.m.
