The public is invited to a Law Day Celebration: "The Rule of Law and the American Dream," at noon on Friday at the La Plata County Court House.

Law Day, May 1st, is a national day of celebrating and reflecting on our judicial system and its contributions to our freedoms. This year's theme is "The Rule of Law and the American Dream." Local attorneys and other legal professionals will re-affirm their oath to uphold the Constitution. Various community members will give brief accounts of what the American Dream means to them.

Crafternoon

Join us every week for Friday fun! We will create craft projects such as pony beady buddies, quilling designs, jewelry making, crochet, and much more!
This drop in activity time is open to all ages. Folks are free to come and go as they please, and we encourage caregivers to participate alongside their little ones, as these activities are not monitored in the way that our registration required programs are.
