Calling all superheroes - and their moms. GEARS will hold its annual Mother/Son Super Hero Bowling event on Saturday, March 4, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Clearview Lanes, 1990 W. Main St., Mount Joy. Preregistration is required and limited on a first-come, first served-basis. The registration deadline is Sunday, Feb. 26.

“This is a fun and unique event, and it’s a really good opportunity for mothers and sons to bond,” said Erin Thomas, GEARS administrative assistant. “Sometimes, mothers and sons get left out, since we do things like our Daddy/Daughter Dance. This is a way to include them.”

Thomas noted that people come dressed up in a variety of superhero costumes. “We’ve had people who go all out and get their makeup done,” she stated. “We have people who come in store-bought costumes, and we have people who come in homemade outfits.”

The event will feature a variety of games and contests, including a costume contest with prizes. “We also have a prize train that runs a couple of times throughout the event and picks a random participant, and they are able to get a prize,” Thomas commented.

GEARS began offering a bowling event for mothers and sons in 2016, but added the superhero theme two years ago, said Karen Eberly, senior program coordinator. “We have done other mother/son events, like a safari, and we tried mother/son roller-skating,” she recalled. “Bowling seemed to generate the most interest, so we’re sticking with that.” In the past, GEARS also held a mother/son fall ball, a more formal

“People will come in and pick up their treasure bag in the community room, and then they’ll be sent out into the library to follow a path to different activity stations,” Betty explained. Activities at each station will be for people of all ages, she noted, adding, “They can be tweaked to be more challenging or less challenging, depending on the age of the child.” Although the activities will be geared toward children, Betty encourages families to participate in Celebrate Seuss together. “The whole idea is to be together as a family and to have fun as a family,” she shared.

Along the way to activities, participants will meet a variety of Dr. Seuss characters, including the Cat in the Hat, Horton, the Fox in Socks, the Grinch and Gertrude McFuzz. Characters are made possible due to sponsorship by the Kiwanis Club of Norlanco-Rheems, Betty said, and club members will be on hand to help with the event. Members of Donegal High School’s Key Club and Donegal Junior High’s Builders Club will also volunteer at the event.

Betty said it’s been a year of growth for the library, noting, “We have had a huge influx of new families coming into the library in the past year.” Events like Celebrate Seuss bring families together for a fun evening out, she said, noting that the Seuss program replaced a green eggs and ham breakfast the library held pre-pandemic.

“Celebrate Seuss is a great time for all ages,” Betty said. “We’re all about family here at the library, and this is a fun, family event. It’s a nice time to get together with others in your community.”

Tickets for Celebrate Seuss are on sale at the library and are available for specific start times to reduce crowds during the event. For more information, visit https://mslibrary.org.
