Kids' Clothing Swap and Iron-On Extravaganza! Saturday September 11, 11am - 1pm. Get a new Fall wardrobe for free! Bring your hand me-downs - gently used please, the kind that you would want to go home with - and find some new clothes that fit! We will set up tables by size upstairs and you can lay out your clothes to trade. Even better -we have free iron-on transfers for everyone, so bring an old tee or pick one up at the clothes swap, and transform it into a groovy new one! Unswapped clothes will be taken to the freebox/CAV/birthing center.

The Story of Toys, Upstairs at Twirl, through Summer. Take a trip down memory lane in our exhibition showcasing The Story of Toys, reminisce about your favorite toys growing up and introduce them to your own kids.. There are over a hundred old toys on display, with a little story to introduce each one. Did you know that since the first Slinky walked onto the stage, over 300 million have been made, enough wire to circle the Earth 126 times? Or that Silly Putty was created by accident during research into potential rubber substitutes for use by the United States in World War II? We have a huge box of Mr Potato Head parts for kids to assemble as well as all our usual toys which are available to.play with at any time, providing there are no classes taking place.
