A few notes from KidsOutAndAbout's St. Louis Editor
Read on for some weekend highlights from KidsOutAndABout
We hit a big milestone this week: The St. Louis KidsOutAndAbout Facebook page surpassed 3000 likes! That is amazing! (Oh, you haven’t “liked” us yet?? You still can! Help push us to 4000!!) We are growing by leaps and bounds and we have YOU to thank! Please continue sharing us with your friends, family, moms groups, school PTO’s, Boy/Girl Scout Troops, and anyone else who can benefit from utilizing us a resource. We are here because we love this community and want ALL area families to know about all the great opportunities we have!
And apparently I blinked again because the arrival of the orange and leaves to our website tells me the first day of Autumn is upon us. And my goodness, I can also tell by our calendar! There isn’t enough time in the world to take in all there is to do for families during the fall season in St. Louis! Like a good festival? We’ve got you covered (see below-wow, the CHOICES!) Prefer indoor fun? Got it. Music outdoors? Check it off! Active fun for the little ones? Yep! Prefer time to yourself looking for bargains? Got that too! You name it, it can probably be found. And please remember, that while we highlight several events in our weekly newsletters, that only scratches the surface, so be sure to check our calendar for a complete list of area happenings. And check back often, as more and more events are being added daily!
In the meantime, here are some highlights from the weekend:
