Playgroud Notes

Do you have a mini princess on your hands? Perhaps a Disney diva who refuses to wear anything but sparkly slippers and tiaras? Well on Saturday, April 14th, she will have a chance to shine. The party will be held at the Lakewood Community Center, which will be transformed into a fabulous ball fit for any princess that might walk through the door. "There will be music and snacks, as well as pictures with a Princess that your daughter can take home with them. We will also be making crafts, like wands and crowns," says Meredith Smith, a Recreation Supervisor with the Community Center.

The cost is $13 per participant, and parents are free. Pre-registration is required by the 11th, and spots are filling up fast. There is not an age range for the event, though drop offs for Princesses under the age of five are not allowed. For more information or to register contact (253) 798-4177.
