Middletown ROCKS!!!!!

The Kids Connect group visited the Middletown Arts Center last week and are now ready to add their contributions to Middletown ROCKS. This painted rock phenomenon is spreading through our community and is part of a nationwide effort to spread happiness.
The group painted the rocks last week and they will hide them the week of June 18th. They will be hidden where they can be found, but in places that you will not expect.
RockAccording to the “rules”, when you find a rock, you should post a photo of your rock on the @MiddletownRocks Facebook page. Once you have done this, you can re-hide the rock.
