End of school ear summer bash celebrated in Potsdam

POTSDAM — A free, end of the school year summer bash brought hundreds of children and families to Garner Park Friday afternoon, June 23.

North Country Children’s Museum hosted the first annual summer bash with games directed by museum staff and free ice cream donated by Stewart’s Shop

Museum Director Sharon Williams said the community outreach event is now the second yearly community event sponsored by the museum, adding to their Frosty Fest held the past several years in the winter.

Limbo was a popular hit as children were challenged to see how low they could bend below the bar.

Attendees enjoyed playing with gooey hands-on Oobleck, a suspension of cornstarch and water that acts like both a solid and liquid.

Williams said this new community event will be even bigger next year.
