What do you do with your kids to keep them entertained on a rainy day like today?
I'll tell you what to do with and for them if it's raining (or, better yet, if it's sunny!) NEXT Saturday: Take them to the Hudson Valley 40th Anniversary Earth Day Celebration. Are they under 12? Then they get to go for free, and you can get it for only $5.00 yourself (or for free if you turn in e-waste in the parking lot, first....but I digress...).
You ask: "What will there be for my kids to do at the Earth Day Celebration?"
My Answer: More than you could possibly fit into a day (not kidding!).
Before I post the entire show/activity schedule, below, let me tell you about the things that your children can do all day long:
- Take pony rides
- Go on hay rides all around the Fairgrounds
- Do recycling activities in the Dutchess County BOCES CTI booth
- Go through the 3-D Green Home built by DC BOCES CTI high-school students!
- Play Agricultural Jeopardy at the NYS Farm Bureau computer kiosk
- Check out the amazing solar cars built by DC BOCES CTI and the Newburgh Free Academy
- Learn how to change bike tires, fix gears and put on biking gear at the Bikeway booth
- Enter the Earth Week coloring contest
- Make an Environmental Dreams globe to take home; and,
- Build cool stuff to take home for free in our Maker Square area
THEN there are shows and activities of all types, at specific times.
Heeeeeer's the schedule!
