Program Description

Event Details

This event is canceled due to the impacts from winter weather.


Join us for a special program in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association and inspired by the show The Remember Balloons designed to help children and families learn about memory loss in older adults. Through interactive activities and age-appropriate discussions, families will gain a better understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and how it affects loved ones. 

The Lafon Arts Center will offer a free ticket to The Remember Balloons, taking place on Friday, January 24 at 6:30pm, to everyone who attends the event.

About The Remember Balloons:

James’s Grandpa has the best balloons because he has the best memories. But when Grandpa’s balloons begin to float away, James is heartbroken. Grandpa no longer has balloons of his own. But James has many more than before. It’s up to him to share those balloons, one by one. Based on the children's book by Jessie Oliveros.
