BHC Valentine’s Party 2019

Leeds Memorial Park 1159 Montevallo Road SW, Leeds, AL, United States

Join us and BHC for perhaps the largest valentine swap in the world!  (And…we are not exaggerating) Get creative with your valentine boxes.  There will be prizes awarded for the most creative ones! Valentine boxes should be dropped off by 1:45 so that they are ready for valentine delivery and judging. Valentines may be delivered any time between 2:00-2:45. Please prepare at least 50 valentines to deliver! If you want to create more, that’s fine; we’ve found that 50 is about right in order to have plenty to give out. Also, bring a snack and drink to share! Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are encouraged for visiting in the open area at this park. If you win a prize for your valentine box, don’t forget to find a BHC representative to get a goody from the prize box. *NOTE: Our group’s monthly events are often well attended and are a general celebration of the local homeschool community.  If this is your first event or if you want connection, please make sure you stop a mom with a BHC tshirt or visor and let her know!  We will be excited to help you get connected.
