We are getting close to many area schools wrapping up for the year – in other words, summer is so close we can taste it
Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana
This weekend is an exciting one… our children KNOW that school is about to wrap up! Next week is filled with field days, popsicles, scavenger hunts, parties on the pavement and so much more. While you’re having some fun this weekend, it is a good chance to make those summer bucket lists or take a peek at how your summer calendar is shaping up. Because when you hear from us next week, we will be all about pool openings, the Memorial Day long weekend and “flipping the switch” to literally EVERYTHING summer! We can hardly wait!
If you are looking for a comprehensive one-stop-shop for all things summer in Champaign-Urbana, we have that ready for you AND we are adding to it daily right now.
Chambanamoms thanks Christie Clinic for presenting this weekend’s planner.
