Buddy Slime Time
Sunday, August 18, 3:30 p.m.

For whatever reason, kids are obsessed with slime videos these days (maybe Nickelodeon has something to do with it), but watching slime is nowhere near as fun as playing with slime, or, better yet, making your own. Tweens in grades 5–8 will teach kids, ages 5 and up, how to make their own gooey slime to take home. Wear clothing you can get messy, because you will get slimed. This event is free, but registration is preferred.
