Barry County Coloring Book
The Thornapple Arts Council and Barry County Tourism Council are partnering to produce a coloring book of historic and cultural sites in our area. Beginning February 14th, submit your drawings for the chance to see them in print!
Coloring books will be given free to each third grade student who visits Charlton Park as part of their Michigan history lesson. They will also be provided free to the Commission on Aging and Thornapple Manor for clients and residents in those facilities. Coloring books will be available for sale at select sites throughout the county.
