Tip the Scale on Saturday at Petersen Barn
Games! Music! Free food and prizes! Elementary age students and parents have an afternoon of free and active fun waiting for them on Saturday, February 25th at Petersen Barn. The UO, City of Eugene, United Way and others are teaming up for Tip the Scale, three hours of great activities for Malabon families.
There will also be a free raffle for prizes and lots of valuable ideas and take-home information about healthy lifestyles and interesting local programs to benefit your family. I’m hoping for a great Malabon turnout. It’s free, it’s practically next door, so stop in and check it out at Pete Barn on the 25th from 2:00-5:00 p.m.
