Join Greenwood Diversity Group

Saturday, June 22, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At Magnolia Park

For a day filled with family fun activities!

Catch a performance by a hip hop artist. Be entertained by the magical sounds of a saxophonist and a bass player. Be swept away by poetry and puppeteers. It’s all about fun on Family Fun Day as visitors paint rocks, learn drumming, craft paper birds and pot a take-home plant.  At the bookstall, children can select their own books and hear a storyteller. At Beanie Babies and Bears, there will be free stuffed animals. The Back to Nature booth introduces snakes and other treasures from the woods while children use clay and colors to create their own interpretations of nature’s bounty. And it’s all free.So join your friends and make new ones at Family Fun Day  — because there’s nothing quite like a walk in the park.
