About Laura Wales
Cottage Grove has open house’s at all of it’s fire stations on Thursday, Oct 13 from 6-8 pm. My daughter went last year and had a great time!
A bunch of once upon a childs have 20% off…the best one i found is $5 off your purchase of $25 or more at the kids rack (www.thekidsrack.com), i love the place :) the owner is super nice, and there is so much stuff there! you can find just as much stuff here as once upon a child :D
Maybe a little off topic – but do you know where kids can eat free at MOA?
Not sure what day but I know that Ikea across the street from MOA has a kids eat free night.
Thanks – I know there’s some Tues night deals too, but we’re going tonight and have 2 birthday kids that I figure should get a free meal somewhere! (And give us more cash to spend on rides :)
Dont forget Jen that if you register online at Nickelodeon Universe your birthday child can ride for free on the day of their birthday. If you register your child’s bday with Famous Daves they get a free meal and free bday dessert.
