Grab & Go Kids Planner: March 10 through March 16

Story times, art bazaars and fairs! Oh my! Check out the family fun in the area this week.

It's Wednesday, and that means it's time to check out our Grab & Go Kids Planner to see what Silver Spring has to offer kids and families this week. As always, we'd love to hear from you if there are any local, family-friendly events that we missed. Let us know, and we'll be sure to keep an eye out for them in the future.

There's lots for the family to do this week. Your options range from quiet, but fun times at the library to exciting, interactive fairs and festivals for the kids. You can do it all this week, and you won't have to walk down the yellow brick road to Emerald City. There's no place like home... there's no place like home...
