1. Please remember that Turtles and Frogs need special care. They are live animals and must be cared for in a humane manner. Turtles must be taken back to the same area they are picked up from. They need to be able to find their food in a familiar place. Frogs breath through their skin and must be kept wet.
2. We ask that children bring their own chalk to the sidewalk art. A limited amount may be available.
3 You are encouraged to bring your own hula hoop if you have one, however, no weighted hoops will be allowed. We will have some hoops available.
