Maltz Museum Celebrates Community Heroes On Sunday

BEACHWOOD, OH — The family-friendly Community Hero Day celebration will be held at the Maltz Museum on Sunday.

Beachwood firefighters and police officers will both be in attendance, handing out hats for kids, showing off police cars and doing meet-and-greets with kids. There will also be animal helpers and the Kids Book Bank. Families can bring a book to donate to the cause and teach their kids about charity.

Festivities start at 1:30 p.m. and continue to 3 p.m. The event will be held rain or shine on Sunday. Tickets for the day are $5 and kids 5 and under are free. Museum members can also get in for free. Register by calling 216-593-0575 or visiting online at www.maltzmuseum.org.

Guests can also play in the Everyday Heroes Activity Center, where books, crafts, and other activities will display what it means to be an everyday hero. Kids can build with jumbo Legos, tell a story in puppet theater, run around in the good movement area or paint kindness rocks to share.

Maltz's core exhibition at this time is An American Story, which guests can take a self-guided tour of during Community Hero Day. The story follows siblings Samuel and Sarah as they immigrate from Russia to the United States during the late 1800s.
