A big part of Wonder and Wander – Jackson’s mission is to help you connect with others in the community. Our Monthly Meet-ups are a way to connect with other parents and caregivers, get some outside playtime with other kiddos, and explore local kid-friendly destinations together! Keep reading for details about our July Meet-up
July’s meet-up is an extra special prelude to the Hot Air Jubilee. Hot Air Balloon Pilot Jody Leatherberry will give us a “tour” of his Re/Max balloon, he will share a bit of the science behind ballooning, and if the weather cooperates, Jody just might be able to inflate his balloon for us!
Participants will have plenty of photo opportunities, so bring your camera. This event will be outside, so come prepared for all kinds of weather (and bugs).
Thanks to Grass Lake Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, our event sponsor, we can bring this event to you free of charge!
Registration is required for this event to have a count for refreshments (but don’t worry, it is free).
This event does have a registration cap – please only register if you plan to attend!
