Wear your pajamas, bring your stuffed friend, listen to a story, and have a dance party! Bring a child and join us for a stuffed animal sleepover party. After the story and dance party are over, leave your stuffed friend for an overnight adventure. When you come back the next day to pick up your friend you'll find a photo memory of the adventures had the night before!
Come unleash your inner rock star! At DPL's Public (ROCK) Choir, led by Sing Bend, you can be part of a group singing experience unlike any other in Central Oregon. Belt out rock and pop favorites, without feeling self-conscious or worried about who can hear you and who's watching. It's not about being a great singer, it's about joining our collective voices and singing our faces off because it's good for you and it feels good, too. Free; food and beverages available for purchase.
