Paint Your Own Ceramics, Spring-Inspired Cuisine and a Blood Drive
You'd be a "fool" to miss out on everything going on this weekend
This Friday, be sure to prepare yourself for plenty of practical jokes and odd behavior, since it is, after all, April Fool's Day. If you can survive the whoopie cushions and spoof emails you're bound to encounter, then you will be rewarded with an enjoyable weekend!
When and where: Sunday. 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at , in the Lincroft section of Middletown.
Why you should go: Enjoy a relaxing afternoon, decorating your own ceramic art. Choose from a large selection of bisque-fired pieces and express yourself with a variety of glazes. Leave the pieces to be fired and pick them up in a week or so.
