Join us 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 our prize box which will include a book and activity kit from Discovery Toys.
