Museum fun for everyone

The Muncie Children’s Museum had their “Museum Fun for Everyone” event April 19 in celebration of Autism Awareness Month from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and students from Ball State greek life volunteered to help with the day. The event was sponsored by Behavior Associates of Indiana to provide free admission to families for the day. (Photos by Ella Howell and Taylor Martin)
