Program Description

Event Details

Come play in the sand at South Side! We'll turn our kiddie pool into a sandbox, with all the right sand toys to make an awesome sand castle or any other creation you can imagine! And what's sand without a little water? We'll bust out our water table, too, for some extra fun! Bring clothes you don't mind having a little messy fun in!
