Grab and Go Kids Planner

We've dug up some upcoming events both parents and children will enjoy. Our Grab & Go Kids Planner will point you to places to take your kids each weekend.

Parents mutter about not having enough time to do the things we want/need to do. It’s particularly frustrating when we carve out free time but can’t find anything interesting to do with our kids. Patch will help you out each week by providing a Grab and Go list of upcoming events and activities that are parent/child friendly.
