Peeps Diorama Exhibit
An exhibit of eight dioramas using Peeps marshmallow candy as the subjects of the displays will be on exhibit from April 3 to 14, 2017. Themes range from the Railroad Bridge Park and a Seapeeps game to a picnic and the Boys and Girls Club.

Visitors will have the chance to vote for their favorite diorama. The winner will receive the “Peeples” Choice Award.
