Fun at Family Play Day with Aaron Downey
February 5, 2016 · 0 Comments
It was fun for the whole family at Dufferin County Museum and Archives (DCMA) with NHL’s Aaron Downey.
Downey “brought out oodles of families even though it was super cold,” says Nanci Malek, Marketing and Promotions Coordinator for the Museum.
This year should prove to be a bit milder, but just as much fun.
Families are invited to come celebrate “togetherness at the Museum with a host of fun indoor and outdoor winter activities” on Monday, February 15 from 1 pm to 4 pm.
Join Aaron Downey once again for a ball hockey scrimmage, take aim with the snowball throwing challenge, or snowshoe around the grounds. Inside, kids can explore the museum, warm up at the hot chocolate station, make a pinecone bird feeder, cozy up with a book in the reading nook, or play board games.
Kids can also test their shoot-out skills with Spenser’s Kids, which raises funds in support of children who cannot afford to play hockey, assisting them with gear and registration fees.
“Family Play Day is all about spending time as a family celebrating each other and local heritage,” says Julie McNevin, Education Programmer for the Museum.
Dufferin County Museum and Archives is located on 936029 Airport Road at Hwy #89 only minutes west of Shelburne.
For more information call 519-941-1114.
Cost for Family Fun Day is $8. Kids 5 and under free.
