Again this year, the Sisters of Providence and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College are collaborating to sponsor Family Day at The Woods. This year's event will be held on Sunday, June 14, from 1 to 5 p.m., in Foley Park in front of Providence Center and in the nearby areas. The Church of the Immaculate Conception will also be a venue. Circle your calendar and plan to attend for a simple, fun-filled afternoon with a variety of games and activities.

What kind of activities, you ask? Performances: choirs, handbells, a storyteller, a roaming balloon clown and a puppeteer. Games: duck pond; bean bag toss; golf marshmallow drive. Activities: crafts; The Incredible Journey of a Water Molecule; sidewalk chalk art; face painting; eco-obstacle course; hay wagon ride; alpacas; and tour bus rides. Chair or hand massage for adults. And an opportunity to be in a Kazoo Band parade!

The event is free and open to the public. Hot dogs, buns, condiments, Pepsi products and popcorn are also free. Donations are accepted.
