Fun Things To Do With The Kiddos This Weekend
Here is a list of fun, frugal things to do with the kiddos this weekend =)
Madison Farmer's Market
Capitol Square, 6AM - 2PM, rain or shine, no pets, The largest producer-only farmers’ market in the country. All items are produced locally by the vendor behind the table. No resale allowed!
Henry Vilas Zoo
IF YOU GO: To protect animals, the zoo does not provide straws (or lids) when purchasing beverages. You may want to bring your own cup that fits in the stroller cup holders, and transfer a beverage you might purchase while there (and sippy cups for the kids, of course.) Bring a blanket or beach towel for diaper changing or snack time.
The McKay Center.
This is the PERFECT time of year to visit and see all the different kinds of lilacs that are in bloom! Have a smelling contest. See if the different colors smell the same. How many colors can you find. Sit on a bench and read a few books. It's a great place for a family visit!
Syttende Mai Festival Parade 1:30
See what Stoughton's all about during the annual Norwegian festival. The weekend celebration offers
performances, demonstration, exhibits, tours, run/walk races, kids parade on Saturday and a large Norwegian parade on Sunday at 1:30pm along Main St, from west to east. Complete event schedules, maps and race registration forms are available at www.stoughtonwi.com
