• Ballet Excel Ohio will be performing their new ballet entitled “Happy” at 12pm in the auditorium.
• The lobby will have long scrolls of paper all over the floor, walls, and beams for families to draw on with whacky with  extra long drawing tools (amongst regular drawing tools)
• There will be an Alfred McMoore inspired photobooth – lots of suits to try on and pose with!
