is kicking 2022 off with a bang... and LOTS OF FAMILY ACTIVITIES TO GET YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE and ENJOYING WINTER IN MONTANA. WRITTEN BY BLAIR FJESETH
Lewis & Clark Library See what's happening at Lewis & Clark Library. I recently learned that our local library opened 21 years before statehood and was the first library in Montana. In addition to its book collection and public access computers, the library offers a variety of activities. "Launchpads,” which are now available for check-out, are tablets that are locked and loaded with educational apps and games for younger children. The library also has weekly toddler and baby book hours. On January 13, the library is hosting a Teen's Crafternoon where your teen will spend time building a Zen Garden. This seems like a great way to make friends, meet new people and make a fun take-home craft. If you have any Harry Potter heads in your family, the library features a monthly Harry Potter virtual book club on January 18, and on January 24 they are hosting Teen Bingo. For more event details or activities, visit lclibrary.org.
ExplorationWorks Run, don't walk to ExplorationWorks for the new giant Lite Brite exhibit, which is fun for all ages. Kids can play with an entire wall dedicated to making unique Lite Brite creations, while parents can reminisce on days gone by with their own artistic designs. ExplorationWorks is also still featuring the 35 Million Miles to Mars exhibit, which is all about robots, satellites, space travel and more. Stop in at the carousel next door for an ice cream cone and carousel ride on one of their unique Montana animals.
Broadwater Hot Springs On Tuesday, January 4, the Broadwater Hot Springs will be hosting husband and wife duo Blake & Kaci, who write and perform original music, as well as their favorite country, folk and rock songs. The Broadwater is an excellent outdoor spot for the entire family. Visit broadwatermt.com for more details.
