More Family Fun!

I just got notification of a few more fun events.  I will also add these to the side calendar.

Blank Park Zoo is doing Zoo Brew on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm.  These are adult only.  They are also doing Family Friday Nights in June, July, and August.  We attended a few times last year, and it was a great time.  The animals tend to be a lot more active in the evenings, and there are lots of extra activities to do. 

This Saturday, the Science Center of Iowa is having the first of three all day cultural events.  Click HERE for the schedule of events.  This one will be focused on Performing Arts, and there will be two more focusing on Visual Arts and food.

Free bowling starts June 7 at Perfect Games in Ames, and I posted a link to the national free bowling page in an earlier sanity savers post if you're not local.  Just pay for shoe rental, but it looks like shoe rental is even free with a purchase of a lunch entree.

Also, check out Bass Pro for lots of fun activities including a free summer camp!  I'll just link to their fun page HERE.

==============================================

One last one for now, and since it is more involved, I'll have to post it to the calendar later.  In Ames, in many locations, Raising Readers is doing some early literacy programs (typically for children younger than school age.)  This is the information I have:
