Calling all girls and families!

The Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains is celebrating 100 years of building girls of courage, confidence, and character at our Girltopia Expo on Saturday, Feb. 25 at St. Anselm College.

The Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Carr Center. Preregistration is $5 per person; $7 at the door.
 
Kelsey Mayer, 7, of Concord, will be in the fashion show from 1 to 2 p.m. She will be wearing a Brownie uniform from the 1980s. Kelsey enjoys being a Girl Scout and wants to participate in the 100 year celebration.

Joining her in the fashion show is 7 year old Paige Cutting. She, too, likes Girl Scouts and fashion.
 
There will be interactive exhibits and booths from museums and family-friendly businesses, a Girl Scouts through the years fashion show at 1 p.m., an improv stage, a “Cake-Off” competition, raffles, food and fun for the whole family.

The event is sponsored by Northwestern Mutual, Northeast Delta Dental and Body Covers. See more details online and register at girlscoutsgwm.org/About/Girltopia.html.
