Here is a look at last year's event.

Talented parents are invited to come and help out. What a great way to spend quality time with your children!

Children who require frequent attention/supervision are invited to participate only with a parent. We will be doing serious constructing activities including cutting wood and metal, painting and welding and using many other tools. If your child will be at risk in semi hazardous environments please do not attend.
