YOUNGSTOWN — Celeste Wilbois took a trip over the river and through the woods and learned a turkey dance at the Butler Institute of American Art.
Celeste, 9, of Hubbard, also learned a thing or two about still life paintings before creating her own during Family Day at the museum today.
“It’s nice and it’s free,” said Celeste’s mom, Betsy Wilbois.
“There aren’t a lot of free things for kids that are fun. They learn new things and get to be creative,” she said.
Family Day is hosted on the third Sunday of every month January through April and September through November.
By teaming up with the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, the Butler is able to create an event full of live readings, art education and crafts.
More than 30 children and parents attended Family Day today to hear Thanksgiving stories and learn about still life paintings.
