Celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday at the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum with Altrusa International! There will be games, character hide n’ seek, and crafts and all kids will get to take home fun new books (while supplies last). Help Altrusa support its mission of supporting literacy one book at a time!
Seedy Tuesday is back! This free event is open to all. Bring seeds to share, if you have some, or just bring envelopes and a pen so you can collect seeds shared by other gardeners. Tubers and other roots are welcome, too, provided they are wrapped or clean. This event will include an introduction to the Lebanon Public Library’s Seed Library, brief presentations on a few plants whose seeds will be on offer, a Master Gardeners’ advice table, and an information table for the Lebanon Garden Club. Seedy Tuesday is co-sponsored by the Lebanon Public Library, the Lebanon Garden Club, and Linn County Master Gardeners.
Join the Albany Carousel for a sensory-friendly ride!
To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music.
It’s our hope to provide a fun and inviting space for everyone. So put on your blue and join us!
