“GOOD TIMES” Guide for Stay-At-Home Parents For March 21 - 27

These free and low cost happenings can help you get out of the house with the kids, without spending a lot of money. This calendar of events is designed with a budget in mind. Some events require that you call ahead, so I have included the phone number and/or web address.  Don’t forget that the library has passes for discounted or free admission to Connecticut attractions.  ENJOY!
