Just leaving the house seems to cost $50 these days. And Lord knows, by this point in the summer, we’re all desperate to get out of the house. Well, Candace Nagy has pulled together a list of free — or at least cheap — programs for kids and teens. “Think free food, cheap entertainment, programs to help keep their bodies and minds healthy, and even opportunities to volunteer in their community.” Did you know that Barnes & Noble has a summer reading program where kids can earn a free book? And Michaels runs free online and in-person crafting classes? There’s lots of fun ideas in here, so definitely check it out. And if you’re offline tomorrow, have a great 4th of July! Eat an extra hot dog for me! Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
