ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – The adopt-a-penguin event allows families to paint a ceramic penguin and make it their own.
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 pm. Jan. 11 at The Pottery Lounge, 312 N. Alpine Rd., Suite 104.
They supply all paint, brushes and other materials needed to make your own penguin. Each ceramic penguin comes with a name tag, fleece scarf and adoption certificate.
