The Museum of Coastal Carolina is holding its popular Family Day event on April 3 from 10:00 to 2:00. COVID-19 protocols such as mask wearing, hand washing, temperature checks and social distancing will be enforced.
Weather permitting, many Family Day activities will be held outside. In case of inclement weather, Family Day activities will take place inside the museum. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, entry into the museum is at a reduced capacity this year. Entry
to the museum is free for members and Brunswick County residents with valid IDs. The special Family Day admission to the museum for non-residents is only $3 per person.
Family Day activities include shark tooth necklaces, sea globes, coin toss, ring toss, and mystery egg decorating with the Ocean Isle Beach Sea Turtle Protection Organization. Families have the option of completing craft projects on site or taking the crafts home to complete. Home Depot is providing kits that are take-home only. Tickets to participate in craft activities will be sold for fifty cents per ticket; most craft activities require 2 to 4 tickets to participate.
In addition to craft activities, Matthew Bookout will be on hand with live snakes and other reptiles. Ingram Planetarium’s booth will feature Cloud Burst – an activity about cloud formation. The OIB Fire & Rescue and Police Departments will be represented.
The Volunteer Association plans to raise funds with a Boston Butt sale (pre-orders required), a Krispy Kreme fundraiser, and a used book sale. Food vendors include Nana’s Main Ingredient, Sunset Slush, and Dixieland Kettle Corn.
