Weekender

Heavenly Days, I am glad it is the weekend! I will spend mine cuddling the dog and nursing my cold with lots of sleep, NyQuil, and SEVERAL of my daddy's famous hot toddies.

But what will you do?

1/9 - It is the first free admission day of 2010 for the Denver Zoo on Saturday! It might be chilly, but it is always fun to bundle up the fam and go say hello to all the critters. Especially when it is free! Hours of operation are 10am - 4pm during the winter. ______________________________
1/9 -On Saturday, you can get the kiddos started off right in 2010 by taking them to build a free coin bank at Lowes Build and Grow clinic. Find a location and register here.

1/9-1/10 - The National Western Stock show was a yearly favorite for my family when I was just a little wrangler, and though they have made almost every event a ticketed one, you can still get in to the actual grounds and look around at all the sights for a reasonable price. Adult tickets cost between $7.00 and $12.00, and this weekend if you head by a Guaranty Bank and Trust Company location, you can pick up vouchers for free admission for the kiddos. Grab event info here. Get along, little doggies!

1/9 - For those of you in the Northern 'burbs (what up, Maude and Daddy?) and in the category of "you couldn't make this stuff up" - I give you the 14th annual Lafayette Quaker Oatmeal Festival this Saturday, with events happening at various locations around Lafayette. Celebrate the healthy lifestyle embraced by our lovely state and check out this event which includes a 5k walk/run, Health Fair, and (of course) an Oatmeal breakfast (with best bowl creation contest, natch.) See the website for all the details, and eat your oatmeal, kids.

1/8-1/10 - Not finding what you want? Can't stand the idea of going out in the cold but HAVE to get rambunctious family members out to do SOMETHING this weekend? Meet every frugal family's best resorce. Your local library. Here's what's up this weekend at Denver's branches.

Whatever you do this weekend, Dealers, just keep on truckin' if you hear a dilapidated goose honking from Cap Hill... it's just me blowing my nose. :(

Happy weekend!
