The Petersburgh Veteran’s Memorial Community Center is offering youth events during the February Presidents week vacation. These are sponsored through PVMCC’s funds from the Stewarts’ Grant and are open to all youth in the community, not just Petersburgers. All the events are also open to parents, grandparents or other adults.
There are no charges for any of these events for children under 18. On Monday February 20, magician Scott Payne will be presenting a show of illusions that are up to an adult level.[private] The show starts at 1 and ends at 2:30 pm. If parents will not be attending this show and will be dropping children off, they will need to sign the children in and out. Adults with a child are free. Otherwise, there is a $2 charge for adults.
Charlie Hot Dogs will be served by the Boy Scout Venturing crew, and again this is at no charge for the children. This sale is also open to the public from 11 am to 12:45 pm. Contact Deidra at 658-3777 ext 10 or DeidraM@Petersburgh.org by February 13 to ensure there will be enough food for all.
