Weekly Events & Activities Apr 3rd-9th
Happy April! Did everyone make it out to The Grand Kids Festival!? It was so fun!! The Rosenberg Library added a few fun activities throughout the week including a movie night on Monday and a pajama night on Thursday. Make sure you grab a free cone at Ben & Jerry's on Tuesday! On Friday afternoon at 4 pm and Saturday at noon, there is a free Raptor show put on by the FeatherFest at the Island Community Center. I did this last year and it so worth it! If you have lil' birders, the Featherfest festival has what they call Fledglingfest going on over the weekend. Also on Saturday you can check out a Paw Patrol & Shimmer and Shine Scavenger Hunt at Target, Family Day at Ocean Star, and Carnival for a Cause with RCC. And those are only a few of my top picks! Check the calendar for every activity happening!
