This weekend proved it... Fall is HERE! We love fall and all things about it! Including apple picking (see our list of Central Ohio orchards here, with our comments on many) and pumpkin patches (see our list of Central Ohio pumpkin patches here, with our comments on many)! We are working on the community fall harvest festival and Halloween happenings list too, and should have it in next week's newsletter!
Follow us on FACEBOOK for heads up on last minute events, cool programs needing advance registration, special deals or coupons (we shared a 25% coupon to Lakeshore Learning this weekend and a head up on FREE ice cream at Graeters yesterday) and more! We also shared the big news at Easton Town Center - an American Girl Doll Store will open there next summer!
This week we are excited to have TWO great giveaways! A family four-pack of tickets to opening night of Dreamwork's How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular! on October 11th at 7pm AND THREE family four-packs to Disney Live's Phineas & Ferb at the Palace Theatre on October 28th! BOTH are also offering special discounts to our readers!!! Check the articles below for details!
We have a great article from Dr. Lynn Monstwil on tips for flossing your children's teeth and making it fun too! I found some helpful ideas in this article that I think will help us.
A few heads up: Stingray Bay at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium is now FREE Mondays through Fridays until the end of October! Westerville Library's registration for their different storytime programs opens up this Wednesday, September 26th. Mark your calendars if you are trying to get into one of these fun storytimes that fill up quickly. COSI reopens this Wednesday, September 26th and Little Kidspace has gotten a refresh and update. The Big Kid Lab (in Kidspace) also had some changes, making it bigger and more open for caregivers to see, along with some fun science activity additions. Also, LEGO Castle opens on Saturday (Sept. 29th)! BTW, we'll have a family four-pack ticket giveaway to COSI in next week's newsletter!
