Thinking Money: Cheap Treats Holiday Edition (Tweens & Teens)

Description

Looking for a resource to help your kids gain a good overview of financial basics? Take them to the new Thinking Money exhibit at Downtown Library on SAT, DEC 16 (1 to 3 PM), where they'll learn how to make affordable, healthy and holiday-themed snacks AND enter to win prizes.* UF IFAS Extension Manatee County will provide a cooking demo, and kids can make and take snacks at three stations. The 1,000-square-foot Thinking Money exhibit (which will be available until JAN 20) provides tips for tween and teens to save and spend—in a way that is not only understandable, but fun. For the complete line up of free scheduled Thinking Money programming, please go to bit.ly/thinkingmoney *Chances to enter to win prizes to local entertainment establishments (TreeUmph, Saturn 5, SkyZone or Escape Bradenton) will take place at all the related events, including Cheap Treats. Each child (ages 8 to 18) can fill out one entry form at each of the four related events (Cheap Treats, Don't Get Hacked, Feed the Pig and Big Bank Theory) for a chance to win passes. Prizes will be distributed the week of January 22, 2018. Winners will be notified via text, phone or email. Thinking Money was developed by the American Library Association Public Programs Office in collaboration with the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, whose support made this exhibition possible. Waiver and registration required.
