Design a Shoebox Float and Other Fourth of July Crafts w Materials from rePlay Arts In-Person
Children ages 12 and under can beat the summer heat at Howe Library by creating a miniature Fourth of July shoebox float! In partnership with rePlay Arts, the library will host drop-in crafting sessions in the Children's Program Room.
If you have a shoebox at home, bring it along—we'll help you wrap and decorate it with patriotic supplies.
Once your float is complete, bring it to the Fourth of July Shoebox Parade on the Green following the main parade (approximately 11:45 AM) and join the holiday fun!
Please note that Howe Library will be closed Friday and Saturday, so there will be no shoebox float crafting on those days.
This program is made possible through a partnership with rePlay Arts, a local nonprofit dedicated to promoting creativity and sustainability by providing affordable, reused art and craft supplies to the community. We are grateful for their generous donation of crafting materials that help make this event possible.
