Rockland County Weekly Events 5/20 – 5/27
Hey!! Hope everyone had a pleasant week and let me be the first to say Happy Memorial Day! I have your complete list of Rockland County Memorial Day Parades. Celebrate and honor to the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom and prosperity that we enjoy every day in this great country.
Most of the kids have a little more than a month left of school :0 (hard to believe); time to get a summer plan going to keep us busy! 🙂 I enjoy keeping my kiddos happily busy , dirty and tired-at-the-end-of-a-day 😉 I am going to arrange a list of stuff to do like local festivals, strew fairs, farmers markets, live concerts, indoor/outdoor fun for everyone! If weather keeps the kids inside, don’t forget your local library! There are always story times, music, art class, toddler play, book clubs and so much more and its FREE!!!!
