Edventure Hosts Money Matters: Tricky Taxes

On Saturday, July 11, Edventure Children’s Museum will host two educational and very informative sessions, titled Money Matters: Tricky Taxes. Sponsored by Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union, these hands-on financial literacy lessons will explore the topic of U.S. currency through exciting, fun-filled activities. Children of all ages will learn to be wiser and think carefully about money and its use. Through a range of planned activities and mock demonstrations, students will make decisions on how to spend the taxes collected by the Palmetto state on important projects, such as schools, hospitals, roads and bridges. Attendees will also learn how taxes are actually collected and spent by state and local governments. Parents will learn ways to discuss and communicate financial matters effectively within the family structure. Sessions are free with the cost of museum admission.

Cost: Free with regular admission. Children and adults, $11.50; seniors (62 and over), $10.50; military (with ID), $10.50; children age 1 and under, free. Sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Location: Edventure Children’s Museum, 211 Gervais St., Columbia.
