The “Grab & Go Kids Planner” appears every Wednesday, just in time for you to take a brief mid-week breather and start thinking ahead towards the upcoming weekend. The planner will include local, low-cost activities, along with the occasional far-flung, pricier, but oh-so-worth it city sojourn.
Help Scarsdale Patch with the weekly planner by e-mailing kirstin.fawcett@patch.com or by leaving your own suggestions or tips in the comment box.
