MORRIS TWP. – The Museum of Makers + Innovators (MOMI) will host a wine tasting fundraiser from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Amani Vino at 60 South St., Morristown.
The event is free, and participants are encouraged to register at tinyurl.com/MOMIHappyHour.
MOMI is a nonprofit which plans to build a community park in the under-construction Morris Marketplace shopping center at the corner of East Hanover Avenue and Martin Luther King Avenue, adjacent to the Hanover Township border.
The park, “Morris Marketplace THINKSCAPE,” is planned to include six innovative playful learning spaces.
Children would be able to tell a story at the Story Spinner, play a matching game at the Memory Match, jump through the Playful Path, meander through the Red Pole Forest, explore the sounds in the Sound Garden with musical flowers, and explore the properties of water at the Creative Canvas.
MOMI was established in 2018 and has a mission to build more playful communities and a children’s museum in New Jersey, the only state in the country that does not have one.
The MOMI team collaborated with the Playful Learning Landscapes Action Network, a nationwide think tank of early childhood researchers and policymakers, and partnered with Morris Township and DeVimy Equities, the developer of Morris Marketplace.
