ULTIMATE PLAY DAY 2019

Ultimate Play Day 2019

Sunday, May 19, 2019

Whitehall Public Library

1–4 p.m.

We had an amazing time at Ultimate Play Day! The weather was perfect and we had 26 activities for people to enjoy, thanks to our wonderful partners! From Nepali dances to geocaching and more, we really appreciate everyone that was able to join in on the fun. If you weren’t able to make it to Ultimate Play Day, there will be another one in 2020 (we can’t wait!!)! Until then, continue to check the website for play pop-ups in the community.

Thank you to Global Wordsmiths for helping with sign translation and interpretation services at the event. Play is beneficial to all (even if you’re 100 years old) and we really enjoyed playing with all of you!
