"</I> :<BR/><BR/>They have various events throughout the year. In the summer, they do summer stuff. They have expos. When I was there last fall, they had a skating rink with an igloo and a slide for little ones that was pretty cool, and an expo on the side to benefit AIDS. When I was there the time before, they had something else. <BR/><BR/>It's better than a permanent exhibit I think, it gives resident something different to look at.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.com
