Families to get gooey and ooey on Saturday

Formerly called “Ooey Gooey Night,” county families can expect to get messy Saturday at Wee Care’s annual fundraiser that is now called “Gooey Ooey Family Event.”

Child care provider Joy Vogel said the group recently learned that “Ooey Gooey” was a copyrighted name, and thus changed the name.

Regardless of the order in which patrons experience the “gooey” or the “ooey,” they can still expect 10 activity stations, a taco bar by donation, and heaping pile of family fun.

The event is from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Eastmoor United Methodist Church, 105 Eastmoor Dr., Marion.

Cost is $5 per family.

Wee Care in Marion County supports county child care providers and preschools.
