Our final program was a showing of "The Great Mouse Detective" at the Orpheum Theater on Saturday August 4. Names were drawn for the 3 grand prizes.

Space Challenger Program


Get a Clue about space was the program held on July 25. Children learned about astronauts' training and some of the equipment needed in space. Lee Ann Fujimoto encouraged children to "dream big" and never give up their dream.

Where's the Sugar?


On July 3, Darlene Stevens from the University of Illinois Extension showed children which foods were high in sugar. Children were able to sample homemade orange soda which is healthy as well as low in sugar.
