It’s that time again for another fun-filled weekend at the St. Patrick’s School Annual Irish Games Festival held at the TRAC.

Then on March 19th beginning at  9 pm you will hear the classic rock party band from Oregon, the Phamous Phaces.

Music isn’t the only thing to look forward to at the festival.

I don’t know about everyone else, but this time of year isn’t my favorite.  The holidays are over, the weather is cold (kind of), the flowers aren’t blooming and there’s only a few weeks left of football.  This is when I start to think a nice vacation to Hawaii is needed…

But, if you, like me, aren’t in a position to take a tropical trip, let’s see what we have coming up in the lovely Tri Cities!  There’s quite a selection of events, including the Harlem Globetrotters, Riverdance, Toby Mac, BB King, Dancing Horses, and the Tri-City Americans Hockey games. 

So, hang in there!  We still have lots of exciting things coming our way.  Even if it’s not tropical.

Christmas Break for most school aged children begins December 18^th and goes through January 3^rd. If you aren’t taking the family to Disneyworld or some tropical paradise for the Christmas holiday chances are you may be looking for some activities to keep the kids occupied for their 2 week hiatus. Of course, many new family movies come out over the holiday break to capitalize on this fact and this year is no exception. Click here for movies and times.

You could also check with the local Parks and Recreation Department to see the available activities in your town. Click on the city of interest whether it be Richland, Pasco, or Kennewick for a schedule.

No matter what you and your family may, or may not have planned for the Holidays we hope you enjoy this time together! The Kenmore Team wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As I started looking for topics to blog on, I thought to myself, do we really need another event to add to our schedules this month?!  But, it’s on my to-do list, so I started the search.  I came across this on the Barnes & Noble website:

The Polar Express Storytime with Hank Sauer
Special Event, Children’s Event
Children of all ages are invited to our Polar Express Storytime on Friday, December 10 at 7:00 pm. Community favorite Hank Sauer will be reading this beloved holiday story. Cookies and chocolate milk for the little ones. Join us!

What a great idea!  The Polar Express is one of our family favorites.  I think getting together and listening to the Polar Express while enjoying cookies and chocolate milk is a fantastic way to spend an evening.  Then at home you can imagine with the kids that the Polar Express is waiting outside your house to take you on an adventure!  Who doesn’t love listening to the young ones describe it from their view?  If you need more information, be sure to click here to check it out.
