OCTOBER FREE & CHEAP EVENTS (October 16 – October 18, 2015) | Entertain Kids on a Dime
Hello Everyone!
Before you read the calendar, here is a recap of events from the week!
I announced yesterday that there will be another HOLIDAY PARTY happening on Friday, December 4, 2015 from 3pm-5pm at VIBE DANCE STUDIO in Thornhill.
This event is geared for adult shopping, however there will be a lot of things for kids to do, and an option of Supervised Babysitting so you can shop in peace.
Come head over straight from work or bring the kids after school!
I will be adding new vendors and entertainment daily.
