Padawan Training is being held in Pomfret because four libraries came together to present this opportunity for children 5-10 years old. It will be taught by Kessel Temple, the Connecticut chapter of Saber Guild, an international Star Wars lightsaber performance organization. Younglings learn about the ways of the Force and how to wield a lightsaber from real Jedi Masters! At the conclusion of the program, younglings are given the rank of “Padawan”. Costumes are encouraged, but not required.

All Trivia nights are family nights and will have pizza!
