Paint Night @ the Library!
•Monday, July 11th we are looking to offer a painting group at the Kensington Library. Adults or children welcome! Youth sizes will cost $25 each and adult sizes $50 each. If your child is enrolled in crafts and would like to have another project for the county fair, we’d love to display our group work in a booth at the fair. (You do not need to be a member of 4-H to join us for this painting night.) The design choices are shown below.
Please RSVP by June 27th so we can be sure to have enough supplies. This can be a fun night for just mom, a mother/child date night, or bring the hubby if he’s game!
Call the library at 785-476-2219 for more information.
