The Marquette County League of Women Voters is excited to celebrate National Constitution Day this year by hosting 3 “Hooked on Voting” events.
“Hooked on Voting” is a fun, family-centered event geared toward educating kids about citizenship, elections, and government through hands-on activities. Participants of all ages will be able to vote for their favorite “Neighborhood Spruce-Up” project, win a book for their school or library, send messages or questions to local community leaders about something that is important to them, get stickers and gummies, and discover how to use their voice to influence their government officials by reading books. We’ll have lots of library books available that kids, their parents, and teachers can check out!
According to the U.S. National Archives, “September 17 is designated as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787.”
“Hooked on Voting” events:
Saturday, September 16, at the Peter White Public Library, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, September 23, at the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday, October 14, at the Negaunee Public Library, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. For more information, contact lwvmqtco@gmail.com
