Viola Gopher Count

05/30/2026

Stop by the Town Hall during Gopher Count for a fun and creative hands-on craft project for all ages!

This year we’ll be stamping tote bags with Gopher Count-themed stamps—an easy activity for little ones to enjoy and just as fun for adults too. Create your own one-of-a-kind tote bag to take home!

All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is needed. Come craft with us anytime during the event—we’d love to see what you create!
