This week (April 22nd specifically) marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. If you're curious about how it all started, you can click here to read about it. Help celebrate this important event and teach your children how to respect the earth by taking them to one of the many kid-friendly Earth Day Events in the area.

Kidwinks is updated constantly, so we like to highlight a few of our newest additions in the Newbies area toward the bottom of this email. You'll also find links to our popular online Kidwinks Guides down there too. Check our guides frequently - we're always adding to them!

Kidwinks Guides


Can't Find Your Favorites?


It's a good idea to verify details of events, etc. found on kidwinks by clicking through to the business' website (just click on the View Website link beneath the business' address). Typos can occur, and details can change; so better to be safe than sorry! If you don't see a particular event on the business' website, give them a call to verify. Not all businesses list all events on their websites.
