📚 Public Education: Newburyport Yankee Homecoming Family Day
We will be tabling for secure storage at this family-centered event during Newburyport's annual Yankee Homecoming celebration. Many local businesses, organizations and non-profits take part in Family Day fun offering free crafts, games, activities and handouts. The booth is free as long as you provide a free craft, game, activity or handout for the kids.
We are looking for volunteers to do children's craft and to talk to parents about secure storage.
