Sneak Peek Pizza Party (13-18yrs)

Kid book reviewers ages 8-12 needed! Grab a stack of ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) of not-yet-published books that won’t hit the shelves until summer, take them home and review them for the bookstore.

We’ll be joined by Laurie McKay, author of the funny and action-packed Last Dragon Charmer trilogy. The third and final book, Realm Breaker, will be hot off the presses. Laurie will have give-aways and answer questions about the series.

Registration required, as space is limited. $10 covers pizza and soft drinks.

OR… you can pre-order Realm Breaker for $16.99 and it covers your registration, plus you go home with a beautiful signed hardcover book and a stack of ARCs! Parent drop-off is fine–just come back at 7:00.

GoFlow for Kidz

We are beside ourselves in excitement over the opportunity to share and grow your community through flow arts, while encouraging outside play.

Come be a part in a flow arts skill share for the kids!
GoFlow will have all prop types available with multiple instructors ready to share and grow with you at whichever level you find yourself!
We’ll have a 15 minute guided learning course spanning multiple props, directed one on one instruction, and awesome group game activities! This is an all ages gathering which includes parents! We ask that children 7 years & under have a guardian present for safety reasons.
These spaces operate on a sliding scale from $15-$25, with discounts for preregistration to whole courses, AND drop-in discount punch cards!
This is a drop-in class so everyone can join at any time, though it is encouraged to commit to the entire course (as it is a community generation experience & the curricula builds off itself).
Come play outside, active and engaged with GoFlow on your Saturday!
