This is a fun way for children aged 3 and older to express their creativity by making winter-themed crafts, while enjoying some snacks and hot cocoa. Thanks to a grant from the Global Foundries/Town of Malta Foundation, there will be no charge for this event.

After crafts, head over to the 4:30 holiday tree-lighting ceremony at Parade Ground Village, sponsored by Malta Business Works.

Donations of a non-perishable item for the Malta Food Bank or an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots will be much appreciated.

Bring any handmade craft or piece of art, go home with an original piece from another creator.

We invite all local artists to participate!  Bring your handmade art to the Round Lake Auditorium between 12:30 and 1:00 on June 15.  Display your artwork on the provided tables, enter a raffle or two, and have a snack while you socialize with other artists and event-goers.  At 1:15 sharp the fun will begin!  When your number is called, you get to choose somebody else’s art to take home.

There will also be raffle prizes at the end of the Swap!

Rock painter Dawn Davis will lead the rock painting activity, which will be limited to 20 children. Adults may also participate. The completed rocks can either be taken home by the painter or donated for permanent placement in the Round Lake Rock Labyrinth.
