Reader # 442 wrote: This was a very fun Make it Take it, and I hope there will be something like it again. There is only one thing I would change, and that would be having a mask to trace. Then again, without a way to trace a mask, it was completely original so...I guess we all learned a new talent - How to make masquerade masks from scratch! Yay!

Salt Water Day

Reader # 433 wrote: Salt Water Day earned a B. It was nice to have something different to do with my family but it was hot out. It would have been better if they put up tents for shade. There were games to play and a few rides and good food to eat. My brothers and I each won a hermit crab with the tank, food and everything it needed and we each won a goldfish. One councilman was giving away free toys like footballs, shovel and pail sets, and frisbees. There was a concert, too. The one I saw was aimed at kids. They were pretty good. They did a Hannah Montana tribute, but that was only so-so. I would recommend that you check it out next year. It's better than being stuck in the house.
