Kids Day was a fun day at Plenty Museum

By Joan Janzen

Last Thursday was a busy day at Plenty and District Museum when Kids Day took place on August 22nd. Janine Shipman organized the activities for the day and was assisted by two students who were hired for the summer and four volunteers. The students put in a long day setting up and helping with activities.

Approximately twenty children came out for the day. “That’s more than usual,” Joan MacCrimmon from the museum said. Some kids from the daycare across the street joined in with children from the community.

“The kids were busy!” Joan said. They were kept busy participating in a scavenger hunt, games, an egg obstacle course, bobbing for oranges, a clothespin drop, face painting and a very successful craft time sewing stuffed hearts. Carol Schmold looked after the sewing craft, where ten young girls were busy stuffing hearts.

Joan said the museum was pleased to have all the kids come out for their children’s day, tour the museum and have fun.
