Grab and Go Kids Planner: Footloose, Book Bingo, and St. Patrick's Day Parade

Here are our top 5 picks for this weekend!

Welcome to the Chartiers Valley Grab & Go Kids Planner! Each week we assemble a weekend calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to check out. You're pressed for time, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance. 

Look for the kids planner each Thursday, and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips by adding them to the comment box. This week, catch the opening of a new movie or get a hair cut! Here are all the details as well as three other of our top family-friendly event suggestions for this weekend and the upcoming week.
