Mazza Museum and Habitat for Humanity Team up for ‘Funday Sunday’ Oct. 26
“Build Tomorrow with Habitat for Humanity” will be the hands-on theme of this year’s first “Funday Sunday” program at University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum.
The October 26 program, which is free and open to the public, offers free art and construction activities, games, hands-on educational stations, and interactive STEAM activities for the whole family. The family-friendly learning extravaganza encourages artistic expression, enhances literacy, and develops critical thinking skills.
“We are kicking off this year’s series with a special program with one of our community partners,” said Amanda Davidson-Johnston, assistant director at the Mazza Museum. “Habitat for Humanity does such great work in the community, and we want to celebrate their 25th anniversary in Findlay.”
Author/illustrator and paper toy maker Merrill Rainey also will be on hand for this Funday Sunday. A resident of Whitehouse, Ohio, his latest book is On the Air With Dr. Doodlebug, which he describes as “a radio show in a book.” He also works for children’s magazines including Highlights, Ranger Rick, and Humpty Dumpty.
He will provide fun activities allowing children to “color, cut, and create” fun projects.
Registration is required and can be completed on the Mazza Museum’s website.
The Funday Sundays 2025-26 series takes place November through April, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is sponsored by Hancock Federal Credit Union.
Themes for additional Funday Sundays this year are:
December 14: The North Pole Railway
January 11: Happy Birthday USA!
February 8: Jungle Expedition with the Toledo Zoo
March 15: Comics Unleashed
April 19: Weather Wonders
