The Middletown United Methodist Church will hold a Ladybug Festival from 10 a.m.-noon on May 7 at 924 Middletown-Lincroft Road, Middletown.
The free event is designed for children in preschool and elementary school and their parents. Flower and herb seedlings will be available for purchase.
Children will receive a ladybug passport when they check in, which will give them access to game islands. The passport will be stamped as each game, all geared for success, is completed. The reward for a filled passport is a bag of ladybugs to be taken home. There will also be a story time and opportunities to break open a filled piñata.
A light lunch of hot dogs and chips will be served to the children. For more information, call 732-671-0707 or visit www.middletownumcnj.org.
