Tri Town Democrats plan family event for Feb. 1

GILMANTON — The Tri Town Democrats invite families from across the community to a kid-centered afternoon of stories, creativity, and fun at the Gilmanton Community Church, 497 Province Road, on Sunday, Feb. 1, 1-4 p.m.

This free, all-ages event is designed especially for children, and the grownups who love them — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews are all welcome. The afternoon will feature four storytime sessions, each led by a different reader sharing a favorite children’s book. Kids will also have the chance to design their own t-shirt and bookmark to take home.

From 3 to 4 p.m., families can enjoy a special performance by Houdana the Magician, whose high-energy show promises plenty of laughs and amazement for kids of all ages.

Cupcakes, hot chocolate, and popcorn will be available, and children can enter to win a fun door prize.

“This event is about bringing families together, celebrating literacy and creativity, and creating a welcoming space for our community to connect,” said Lew Henry, co-chairman of the Tri Town Democrats.
