I am pleased to announce the first trip for SPARKS on the Go for 2018. We were able to get a special deal at Fair Oaks Farm with admission at just $10 per person!! This includes transportation to and from Fair Oaks on an LSC School Bus. This opportunity all came together at the last minute so I apologize for the short turnaround time.

SPARKS on the GO will be open to all members of The Tippy Arc in 2018. This includes Adults, Kids, Family Members and Support Staff! We have three more trips planned for 2018.

The Fair Oaks Dairy Tour will be Saturday, August 11th and the cost is $10 per person. Everyone who attends must have a ticket. Tickets must be prepaid for the event.

The bus will be staffed with LSC drivers. We will have Arc staff and volunteers to direct folks but anyone requiring supervision must provide staff or family support to attend the event.
