Grab & Go Kids Planner
Zip on a bike, zoom in a go cart or frost like lightening this weekend.
For you, dear Patchers with tiny Patchers, we’ve assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities, places and events. Each week, we will feature five family-focused ideas to help you plan your week. We know how busy life with kids can be, so we're happy to do the legwork for you and find fun things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
We also include links to help you learn more about the places and events listed. Click around to get more information like pertinent phone numbers and addresses. It is our goal to make the planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute.
This week is all about wheels; your family can race on bikes, zip around on go carts or simply admire a parade of vintage cars.
