Grab and Go Kids Planner: Free Goods, A Puppet Show and a Memorial Day Parade
Take your child to the free goods exchange so they can get a new book or toy, see a puppet show about pollution, walk in the wetlands, remember La Plaza Vigil, or go to a Memorial Day parade—our suggestions for this week's Kids Planner.
Where/When:, Peck St & Main St. Friday, 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Why Go: As the name implies, it's a free-for-all. Free for all to bring things and get things as part of this exchange. You donate some useable items; you get to see what you might find that you can bring home. Books, videos, utensils, children's things are the most sought-after items. If it rains, the event is cancelled.
