Artwalk



Believe it or not June is coming to an end and what a better way to wish it farewell than to spend the weekend in beautiful downtown Salida enjoying the 17th Annual Artwalk. We are located at 116 F Street, number 35 on your Artwalk map. This year we will feature art work and projects by children from the local Boys and Girls Club. We feel that it is extremely important to nurture a child's creativity and encourage their artistic ability from an early age, because afterall the greatest artists were once children. By being artistic children gain confidence, become independent and learn to express themselves at an early age.

Travel Charmers


Travel Charmers help children learn about other cultures around the world and offer children the chance to help children in different countries. A portion of the retail price goes to the children's charity Plan International that provides for children in developing countries. Children can log onto the website http://www.karitokids.com/ to play great games, earn World Change and choose how to put their donation to work for their favorite cause- school, home, health or food. Travel Charmers are a great way to teach children about the importance of learning and being tolerant of other cultures along with the importance of sharing and caring for others.
