Hundreds of children and their parents express their artistry and help feed the community Saturday during a visit to Creative Children's Center in Aloha. About 400pounds of food was collected for the Oregon Food Bank during the fifth annual event. Above, Casey Betcher, 17 a Century High School senior, helps Alex Hunker, 9, create a clay pot. Brown Middle School students painted faces including that of (left) Taylor Pimster, 6. Budding artists created wands with bright ribbon streamers, headbands, flour, water, bead and wire "critters" and other crafts. The center, a parent cooperative preschool and kindergarten for ages two to six years, celebrated its tenth anniversary last year. Summer camp for ages three to 12 is offered. Call Creative Children's Center at 503-590-0604 for information.
