Weekend plans
Build your weekend around three easy anchors: Saturday market browsing and a fresh bakery snack, an outdoor hike to soak up crisp air, and a relaxed evening board-game swap with neighbors. On Sunday, start sweet with pancakes, savor a slow walk downtown for window browsing, then rally the family for sleds and thermoses. If weather turns, swap in the library puzzle table or a matinee movie at the community room.
Free and family-friendly picks
Try the library storytime, lantern-lit walk, and Sunday sledding for free things to do. The stargazing chat and nature hike are family-friendly and great for curious kids. Many activities welcome donations, but most offer a no-cost option if budgets are tight.
