Weekend Roundup: Let the Spring Events Begin!
April 23, 2009
There's a lot going on around these parts this weekend. Saddle up! Also, don't forget the Earth Day (Month) events listed here on Tuesday.
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
Santa Clarita Valley Cowboy Festival: Have a little cowboy or girl in your family? Head up the mountain for days and days of music, poetry, food, cowboy gear, and trip roping! Behind the scenes tours of a movie studio! Old west is best.
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
Santa Clarita Valley Kids Consignment Sale: Just like the LA Kids Consignment Sale but...not. It's smaller and newer and probably less of a zoo. Great place to stock up on summer clothes and toys. Who cares if it's secondhand if they're just going to destroy it anyway?
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
Burbank Arts Festival: Seriously, click that link. There's so much going on during this event that my eyes started to pop out and I got tired just reading it. Chalk art? A mud booth? High school BANDS?! It's fun on a silver platter, my friends.
Los Angeles Times Festival of Books: Simply put, this event brings together people who love books with people who create them. For two days there will be author signings and readings, including many, many children's authors and performers. I originally planned to attend this alone, but looking at the schedule I know I would want the children there. Wish me luck. Tickets are free, but parking is $9 at UCLA.
SATURDAY ONLY
Kester's World Music and Art Festival: 11AM to 5PM. Music, games, art, food, more. Kester Ave. Elementary School. If this is your district, it's a good way to meet people in that community before your children get to that kindergarten.
Bargain Babe speaks: 3:00PM - 4:30PM, Borders, Thousand Oaks. Julia Scott of the Bargain Babe blog shares tips about cutting expenses and saving big!
Weekend Roundup: Community Hoe-Down!
October 03, 2008
'Tis the weekend for community celebrations! Maybe they think it's cooling off, so now is the right time for a big outdoor festival. I guess nobody could have predicted the 100-degree weather when they scheduled so many great events in the Valley this weekend. Put on your sunscreen and a big hat and bring lots of water, because there's plenty to do out there! Friday, Saturday, and Read more...
L.A. County Fair: Ferris wheels, pigs, Barbie, oh my! Ticket giveaway!
September 05, 2008
It's that time again, everybody. Time for the Los Angeles County Fair! I haven't been to The Fair since before I had children. Now that my kids are bit older, I can't wait to go. The opportunities for fun and learning seem endless. Petting zoos, exotic foods, carnival rides, environmental exhibits, competitions, and popular characters are only the beginning of what The Fair has to offer. The Read more...
