Ice Skating, Crafts, and Concerts Highlight Weekend Activities

Here are some kid-friendly activities going on locally.

If you’re looking for something for the kids to do Saturday or Sunday here are some local things going on:

  • Residents can learn a little about the history of Wayne at the annual Terhune-Sunnybank exhibit and sale at the Van Riper-Hopper House Museum in a few weeks.

Some new artifacts are on display in the permanent exhibit, including some clothing from the late 19th century.

Residents can learn what “Sunnybank” has in common with “Gone With the Wind” and how Sunnybank Park got its name.
