Forty-two children enjoyed the Dino Digs Vacation Bible School at the Starbuck Community Church last week. Dayton and Waitsburg VBS programs will take place later this month.

Maker Fun Factory

The Waitsburg Christian Church and Presbyterian Church will join together to host Maker Fun Factory VBS July 17-21 from 9-11:30 a.m. a.m. But kids can get a head start on the fun by creating a robot for the robot contest by July 9. Robots can be made from any material, can be as large or small as you like, and can resemble a person or animal.

Robots must be submitted by July 9 by contacting Andraya Anderson at aanderson@wwps.org or (509) 540-4205.
