BARNUM — Did you know that April 9 is National Unicorn Day? Here in Barnum, we celebrate the day by spreading sunshine, happiness, bubbles and everything unicorn!
“Life lessons from a unicorn: Anything is possible. There is magic inside of you. It’s OK to be different. Dreams can come true. You don’t need wings to fly. Always believe in yourself. Sparkle and Shine wherever you go. Stay strong and never give up. Dream Big Dreams.” –Unknown.
Some upcoming Barnum Community Ed happenings include:
Pickleball: Have you been curious about pickleball? Have no idea what it is? Here is your chance to come learn more about it! This class is for those new to pickleball or consider themselves beginner players. Beginners are welcome to just come play in a laid back, friendly environment. Bring your own paddle (some will be on hand if you don’t have one) and join the fun! We have three courts available for play. Our instructors will be on hand to teach most nights!
The class is held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays through June 6 in the Barnum Elementary Cafeteria (enter in the door off the bus alley). The instructors are Dale and Irene Anderson, and other community members. The cost is $7 per person, per week. A maximum of 10 people are allowed each Tuesday.
