If you have children beginning school break, you may be worried that by the end of the week they’ll be climbing the walls. (Or that you will be.)
There’s not much happening next week in town. But if you have 6-11 year olds, you can ship them off to a two day workshop that will keep them entertained while they learn.
Note: this program has low enrollment which may force cancellation. So enroll by noon on Monday, before it’s too late!
