📅Friday, September 5, 2025

What to Expect:
Rocket launches and science demos with dry ice and liquid nitrogen
Reptiles, bubble making, face painting, and hands-on garden activities
An obstacle course with Bob-a-loo
Free food and community resources from YCS teachers, local organizations, and more
This event is always free—and always unforgettable. Whether you’re a returning guest or a first-time visitor, we can’t wait to welcome you.
