There's quite a bit going on this week, scroll down through each day- I'm sure you will find a couple of things to try! I featured a couple of things here at the top that have a variety of stuff going on throughout the week.


**I discovered the Kids Cooking Party website this week. They are the "Growing Cooks Culinary Emporium".  I messaged them asking them some details about what they offered and Alice was able to give me a brief rundown,
"We are a cooking school and cooking party facility for the entire family. We also feature creation stations during the week while events are not taking place: Times for Creation Stations are Mon - Friday 11am - 5pm with the exception of Tuesday availability is 11pm to 4pm. Cookie Pops are $2, cupcakes are $3 or 2/$5. We do feature other creation station activities from time to time as well. Our cooking class schedule comes out monthly as well featuring kids & youth classes, those are generally $25/each unless your join our culinary club then they drop to $19 each or even $17 if you pay for a bundle of 4 at a time."
