Teen Interactive Holiday Movie Night

On Tuesday, December 20 from 5:00-7:00 PM, teens can watch the 2003 holiday favorite about one of Santa’s exuberant oversized helpers who travels to the big city to meet his biological father, a man who is definitely in need of some Christmas spirit.

Make a Mess

Let your imagination run wild with hands-on creative projects and experiments. The goal is to try new things with no fear of the mess you might make in the process.
