Weekender - April 23, 2010

Happy Friday, Dealers - lovely weather we are having, eh?

Meh. I like a little rain, but being a Colorado Native, I am looking for the weather to change like, every 15 minutes, so even a few stormy days leave me feeling a little Seasonal Affective-y.

HOWEVER - the weekend is upon us, and no amount of moisture can change that glorious fact, so lets find some fun and frugal things to do, m'kay?

4/17-4/25 - Don't forget, admission to all National Park is free through this weekend, as they celebrate National Parks Week! Check out all of Colorado's fabulous National Parks here.

4/23 - Meininger Art Supply gets in on the Earth Day celebration with this week's Kids Art Club offering, "Repurposed Masterpieces." Your kiddos will use recycled glass jars and other supplies to create one of a kind vases with assistance from Meininger staff. Class is from 4:30 - 5:30. Go here for more instructions and details.

Farmer's Markets:

I have to say, the weather is making me think that the "indoor-y-ness" of DUH's weekly market is a front runner this week!

Denver Urban Homesteading's market has been my favorite Weekender topic for a while now, and there is NO reason not to show this market the love just because the outdoor varieties are starting back up. Saturdays 9am-2pm.

Boulder County Farmers' Market - Saturdays 8am-2pm.
