Book Worm Weekend!

It's Read Across America Day!  In that spirit, Mid-Valley Kid Calendar encourages you to snuggle up with your little readers and a fantastic book!  But before you heat up the cocoa, make sure to get out into your Mid-Willamette Valley community and join other kids and parents in the pursuit of a great story!

This morning, don't miss Salem Riverfront Carousel's Dr. Seuss' Reading Across America Story Hour Free Event.  A visit from the Cat in the Hat, along with free carousel rides and great stories await your children.  What a great activity to start the weekend with your family!

When you've finished at the Carousel, head over to the Salem YMCA for their yearly Used Book Sale.  This 3-day event is the perfect opportunity to replenish your family's bookshelves without breaking the bank.  What a fun treat for your children (Moms and Dads, too!) to get to pick out literary treasures and head home in great anticipation of reading them!

And, if you're looking for a more hands-on activity to get your kids' creative juices flowing, check out Discovery Saturday at Gilbert Discovery Village.  This week's cool discovery:  The Egg Drop!  Build a contraption to keep your egg safe.  Drop tests will be every half-hour off the walking bridge behind the museum.

So, happy reading and have a wonderful adventure this weekend in and around Salem.  Send me pics of your activities!  And if you have an event you would like included in the Calendar, just send me an email here.
