Make a Gift for Dad
Still trying to think of a great Father's Day gift for this year?
 
Register for a session in the Quad on June 11, and together you and your child can create a special gift for Father's Day. Gift choices are a bottle opener, a luggage tag, a heart ornament, or a mug. You will personalize the item with a family photo or other design and take home a colorful, unique gift. Please bring two or three favorite family photos on a USB drive to use in your gift project.
 
Ages 8 and up. Children under age 13 must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times.
