Enhance your 4th Friday Art Walk experience and pick-up a Ponderoo Passport at one of the 12 participating locations. Get a stamp at each of the galleries/businesses and redeem your completed passport for a Little Ponderoo!
So, what's a Little Ponderoo? Each year we offer a special gift created by artists and aspiring artists in the community to celebrate our collective creativity. This year, the token is a JoyBot - a tiny, hand-painted robot on the back of a domino and designed to spread hope, courage, love, and joy.
Participants must receive at least 9 stamps to qualify for a gift! Passports can be redeemed at the check-in tent at Village Green Park on Friday, June 28 beginning at 5:30 pm. We recommend visiting the tent early as there is a limited quantity of Little Ponderoos available.
