What's Going on this Weekend? January 28th and 29th
We are officially at the last weekend of January! Personally, I am looking forward to spring with all this cold rain we have been getting. This weekend, there are a ton of fun things to do with your kiddos to wear them out and keep you all happy. Check out the Living Arts and Science Center's Discover Saturday, a Lego Batman event, Chess Mates, fun storytimes, Reds autographs, and even a children's play. Saturday is dry with a high of 43 and Sunday looks like snow and a high of 33. Have a safe and fun weekend!
