Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University held their third annual mother & son event,“My Little Man & Me: Valentine’s Day Party!” on Saturday, Feb. 9.
The event was hosted by Isbett Checo and was assisted by Hannah. Checo said that there were many events aimed towards young girls such as the upcoming Frozen Ball, which will be held the following Saturday on the 16th. She wanted to put together an event where young boys and their mothers could spend a fun day together.

The event had 21 kids alongside their moms as well as aunts and grandmothers. They were all excited for the beginning of what the lovely afternoon had in store. There was music playing with songs such as “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey, “I’ll Be There For You” (Friends theme song), “All You Need Is Love”
by The Beatles, and “L.O.V.E” by Frank Sinatra.
The first event was an arts and crafts project where the kids made heart-shaped Valentine’s Day cards. Guests then had tasty treats and refreshments, each of them having cute titles. Examples being H♥2 (h2o or water), “Love Potion Fruit Punch,” “Stick” With Me Valentine (pretzel sticks), “You O’Fish Ally Stole My Heart” (goldfish snacks), and more. There was also a kissing booth where guests took photos using Valentine’s Day props.

The games then began. The first game they played was “Pin the Heart On Cupid” which is based off the classic game, “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” To follow, they played the very special Valentine’s Day Bingo event; players who won received various prizes. Another game that was played was sack toss which used red beanbags that had to be thrown on a heart shaped point board. “Simon Says” as well as “Hot Potato” were also played at the event.
Finally, there was the Mom & Son dance party where sons brought their mothers to the floor and danced together. Upcoming events to be held at the Liberty Hall Museum include the “Frozen Ball”, “Dr.Seuss Birthday Party”, “Superhero Day”, and the “Annual Easter Egg Hunt”.
