SECOND SATURDAY
On the second Saturday of each month at 10 AM, children ages
3-10 (all ages welcome) meet in the Museum Theater for a
short introduction with a story or video before beginning a
craft designed by our Education Coordinator. The Second
Saturday programs generally deal with something pertaining to
Northeastern Nevada or an upcoming national holiday. History,
science, art, and culture are major themes behind the activities.
