# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Connect and Color - America 250
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Unplug. Unwind. Create Together. Put down your phone, take a deep breath, and make something beautiful — together. ConnectandColor® is a one-of-a-kind community coloring experience that melts away stress, lifts your mood, and connects you with your neighbors through creativity. No talent required — just a willingness to color and have fun!

Here's how it works: Each participant colors their own unique puzzle piece. Once everyone is finished, the magic happens — we assemble all the pieces to reveal a breathtaking collaborative mural celebrating America's 250th birthday! Every design is completely unique, and the final reveal is always a surprise. Your piece matters. Will you help us complete the picture?

If you’re unable to attend, we kindly ask that you inform us in advance so we can offer your spot to another patron. We appreciate your cooperation and hope to welcome you at a future program.

Register online or call the 4th Floor Desk at 847-376-2841.

Please note: The first 24 participants to arrive will have the opportunity to contribute to the collaborative puzzle project. Additional attendees are welcome to join the celebration by coloring a special America 250-themed activity sheet to take home or enjoy at the library.
