Fishing Derby, Kite Flying and a Camera Sale

Lots of free events for the April school break next week. Plus, you can put on your Easter finery without breaking your budget (or an egg!).

Next week is April school vacation, and you know what that means: the Parks and Recreation Department has free fun planned for your kids! On Monday you can “Go Fly your Kite” at Bartlem Recreation Area from 10-11 a.m.  

On  Tuesday, children can try their hand at fishing during the Steve Horvath Memorial Fishing Derby, 10-11:30 a.m. at Mixville Recreation Area. Registration begins at 9:45 at the boat house. Both events are free!

 Staples has a coupon for $10 off any clearance camera or camcorder this week! Check the circular online and print your coupon. The special goes through April 16, just in time to get great pix or video of your kids flying kites and fishing!
