Money savings events and fun activities for the entire family
This week's events feature a local book store hosting a "meet the author" event and activities the family can enjoy together.
Glad you clicked on our new Grab & Go Kids Planner!
We’ve assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try out with children.
Each week, we’ll give you the info on the five best family activities or events for the week.
You’re time-pressed enough, so we’re happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
Look for the kid’s planner each Wednesday, and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips. Just add them to the comment box. Even if you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you!
