Grab and Go Kids Planner: March 2-6
Stories, meandering, a free day, teen girls, and Annie — pick and choose from this week's array of events.
Welcome to the Grab and Go planner. We've assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try out with children. Every Wednesday, 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. Just print up this calendar, grab, and GO!
And feel free to 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!
