Every Thursday, JohnstonPatch lists great weekend events and activities in and around our town.
At Mohr Library: Drop-in crafts on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for kids older than 3 years old. Supplies provided; creativity encouraged.
Audubon Society: It's getting nice enough to go outside — head over to the Audbon Society for its Pysanky Workshop. What's Pysanky? It's a Ukrainian egg-dyeing craft. All supplies provided — be sure to wear clothes that can get premanently stained. At 3 p.m. — weather permitting — there's a nature walk scheduled.
