Guests at Smith on Grandparents Day can take part in checkers, bubbles, and coloring activities celebrating grandparents everywhere. In addition, the newly renovated Playground, including the Ann Newman Giant Wooden Slide, will be open to the public. There will be a special giveaway for Grandparents who come with their grandchildren. This event is free of charge.
