Derby Public Library to host harvest fair for families
DERBY - Celebrate fall at the Derby Public Library’s annual Harvest Fair Saturday in the Children’s Room.
The activities start at 10:30 a.m with Perfect Pumpkins, a Science Snoopers program, geared for children ages 4-8.
Pumpkins are not just for Halloween. Learn more about this interesting fruit during this fall-themed science program.
The Science Snoopers series are designed to introduce children to the natural world around them by offering them an opportunity to explore the simplicity and complexity of science. The class includes a short talk enhanced with hands-on material, props, an experiment, and a short story related to the theme followed by an art project.
Children of all ages up to and including 11 are welcome to join the fun with a visit from Sparkles the Clown from 11:30 a.m.-1 pm. She will amaze everyone with her magic and balloon sculpting talents.
There will also be pumpkin decorating and fall-themed arts and crafts projects along with contests and refreshments.
NOTE: You only need to register if you are attending the Science Snoopers program. The harvest fair and its activities including the clown visit, are free and held on a drop-in basis.
The library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
