SPECIAL FEBRUARY EVENTS- TWO SPECIAL WEEKS!

I LOVE Valentines Week

Sponsored by Hannaford Supermarkets

Dude, Where’s My Spaceship?

February 18-26

It’s a week of sightings, abductions and close encounters of the extra-terrestrial kind.

Traveling at the speed of light from a distant galaxy, Code-E the Alien has been sent by his planet’s Supreme Being to study aspects of planet Earth. While on a probe for specimens, Code-E’s spaceship mysteriously vanishes. Could it be that men in black have captured the craft as part of a government conspiracy and ensuing cover-up or has absent-minded Code-E simply forgotten where he parked it? It is a case involving national security that needs to be solved at warp speed!

All week long you’ll investigate craters, experiment with rocket stability, follow the tracks and search the universe for the clues to locate the missing ship!
