If you’ve got a Michael’s nearby, then they also occasionally do craft classes and workshops. They have a reoccurring one for children–probably free, and different themed ones for adults. I think some of the adult ones have a fee–cake decorating comes to mind, but I think you got to keep your supplies after.

Thanks BBB, was looking for something to do with my son this Saturday! Since the Loews and HD are so close we’ll be hitting both. Yet another reason to add to the ever growing list of why i read your blog daily!

I know about Lowe’s family projects they are just about the same as Home Depot. I really think it is great. We get our sons boy scout troop together over the summer and go. Lowe’s and Home Depot have there projects on different Saturdays here in my town. This works out great for the boys. Now if I could just get the girl scouts interested.

Do you know where hell is? Hell is in hello…

;)

Nice reference!

As for the HD thing, I’ve seen it, but since I don’t have kids, I never paid it much attention. Sounds like a really neat thing to do from a family perspective (and not bad business sense either lol)

THanks for the head’s up.. I know several parents that may be interested!

I can vouch for Lowes doing something very similar, and they didn't mind groups going either. I brought a whole herd of Cub Scouts out to build bird houses a while back. .-= Dechion´s last blog ..Oh cool, I found it! =-.
