Abrakadoodle adds to family fun at PAC festival June 12

The Plymouth Arts Center is presenting something new for children and families this year during its second annual Festival of Fine Arts to be held Saturday, June 12. Look for a children’s art tent coordinated by the Abrakadoodle Remarkable Art Group under the direction of leader Pam Rautmann.

The Plymouth Area Girl Scouts will assist with the art projects and games and provide face painting. Children will be able to meet Splat the Art Dog and have lots of fun while parents explore the festival grounds enjoying art, music, food and beverages. Over 35 Wisconsin artists will be displaying their works at this year’s event.

Abrakadoodle offers both ongoing art classes and workshops at the Plymouth Arts Center, providing new and exciting experiences for kids, as well as Specialty Art programs and parties. For more information on Abrakadoodle, visit http://www.abraka doodle.com/wi03.
