Weekly Events & Activities Oct 31st-Nov 6th

Wow - It's November! Now that October is over, the island is gearing up for all our Holiday festivities! It will be a little quiet until after Thanksgiving where everything is in full swing! I will let you know when the full November calendar is finished! For this week the NOT so kid friendly Lone Star Rally is town. Luckily, Clay Cup Studios is offering a Parents Night Out on Saturday night so you can check out the festivities. On Friday night, Galveston Island State Park is offering a Sunset Photo Hike that is open to all! The Home Depot workshop is Saturday morning where the kiddos can build a helicopter in honor of Veterans Day. If you want to avoid the Lone Star Rally all together - head off island to Texas City and check out the Touch a Truck Festival at the Texas City Museum! As you scroll through the calendar, just click on each activity to read more about it and find the link.
