play sets and an ultimate doghouse - among other items.
Kids’ Busy Builder Zone – For kids, there's a special “hands-on” area. Children can dress up in contractor gear and get their picture taken, play in a sandbox stocked with excavators and dump trucks and build their own
structures with foam bricks and beams.
Inside Out, Summer Starts at Home – Students from MIAD, MATC and WCTC are creating a design gallery that showcases interior rooms that flow into outdoor spaces.
