Fun as a Family – Weekend July 26, 2019
Hanging onto summer with both hands now…we are already in planning mode for Back2School AND MallOWeen and it seems like the time is just flying by. Especially with kids sports – my kids are already talking about and planning their practices which are starting pretty early in August.
We hope that you’ve had a great summer so far and that you’ve been getting out and enjoying the time with your family. Here are some other great events going on in the area to check out.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: 3 Back2School Events this year – Westminster, Hagerstown and Frederick. Also, we’re still accepting vendors for these events – if you have a business and want to participate, contact us (info@tots2tweens.com)
