All kid's activities are free! The party takes place the Saturday between Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day. It is a fun time for friends, families and couples. The setting - inside of a warm greenhouse filled with growing plants is a welcome respite from the cold February weather outside. The party starts at 1 p.m. when kids begin creating in Granny’s Craft Room in one section of the green house while the yummy entries in the decorated cakes competition are being judged in another area. This is the same section where professional appraisers will be evaluating family treasures in our Antiques and Collectibles Appraisal Fair. While you’re waiting in line to have Great Aunt Mary’s clock evaluated, check out the cool stuff in our Take-a-Chance-Auction. We will draw for these prizes at 4:30 p.m. If you have a special Valentine to shop for, stop by and see the items we are offering in the live auction beginning at 2:30. Between the live auction, take-a-chance auction and selection of beautiful flowering baskets, you’re sure to find something that will gladden his or her heart. Girl Scout troop 7822 is cooking up large pots of soup and there will be many other goodies to choose from including French crepes which are a traditional Mardi Gras treat. Join us for a fun afternoon filled with lots of creative hands-on craft activities for kids of every age group.
