Drum Circle By DeeAnn Macomson
We will be having a drum circle on site from 7pm-8pm. Please bring your drums or any other tools that you may have to make sound with!
There are many benefits of group drumming and rhythm events. Drumming boosts the immune system so there is actual science that backs up the feeling of happiness and well-being that most people experience after drumming. It’s an easy instrument to learn and can be taught in a matter of minutes.
For the kids (the kid inside of you too)!
We will have Krissie from Eros Creation on site painting faces with her beautiful art! Bubble Trouble will be on site with their bubbles of all sizes! Fun Size Equipment will be on site with their kid sized excavators to offer your kids another fun activity to help teach them motor skills! This is a Feel Good Fest for ALL ages!
