March Break is next week!

With March Break coming up next week, a few activities have been planned to help parents keep their kids occupied.
For instance, a ski trip Biwabik, Mn. is being planned next week for 4-H kids and their families. But non-4-H folks can tag along if enough room is available on the bus.
Call Tracy Hyatt for more information on this.
Meanwhile, kids aged eight-14 are invited to crop at Scrap-A-Bit in Emo next Tuesday (March 15) from 1-4 p.m.
As well, Scrap-A-Bit will be having a St. Patrick’s Day kids’ toonie project next Thursday (March 17). Kids are asked to bring in a toonie and make a project.
