The Barefoot Storyteller hopes you will join her in wishing The Inside Out Playground a fond goodbye this November....
It is with deep regret that the board has informed me that the Inside Out Playground will beclosing at the end of November due to the financial pressures of trying to stay opencoupled with the state of our local economy. The Inside Out Playground (IOP) began16 years ago as a space for children to grow and learn while playing. Over theyears, a dedicated and volunteer Board of Directors have strived to keep this uniqueplace open, available and affordable to the children of Kennebec County. They have had thousands of children and families play, dream and explore with us but the reality of maintaining a business makes it a challenge to keep the dream alive. They will be open for business as usual until November 25, 2009. Please come on in,out of the cold and bring a friend to play. Hours are: Tuesday –Friday 9:00 am-1:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. They are still booking birthday parties until November 25th.
The Inside Out Playground is located at 5 Appleton Street Waterville.
I will miss storytelling there, and very very fondly remember the times I learned and played alongside my own son when he was young there.
