Fitchburg Library Movie Time!


Kids In The Rotunda
NO shows this week because of the art fair. {sigh}

Your local library!
Check with them for their fall programs - they are FREE and usually super fun!

Visit the UW Geology Museum
1215 W. Dayton St., 262-2399,http://www.geologymuseum.org/ (Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sat. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free.) —Besides its extensive mineral, rock and fossil collections behind glass, kids can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin, see rocks and minerals that glow, and stand under huge mastodon tusks. Great for those like my daughter who want to be a Paleontologist!

Last time we went there were FREE crafts, a GIANT inflatable Bucky, Balloon animals and an outdoor brat stand (not FREE).
Look for the big orange chair (although, it might have been packe4d away for winter with the other chairs...) and turn it into a photo-op like we did with Miss Sarah and the peanut of Ashely from Coupons for Wisconsin already this summer!
