1. Summer Reading with Tuscaloosa Public Library

What a lineup the Tuscaloosa Public Library has provided families this summer!  All events are free and open to the children of all ages.  Please, complete registration to participate, and check out the TPL calendar for events happening this week.  This week you can participate in online or in person storytimes, Friday's Drive-In Movie, and craft times.  There are so many choices!  July 12-16

2. Bama Bounder's Western Parents Night Out

This one is fun for parents and the children.  Let Bama Bounders keep the kiddos entertained with Western themed activities, games, an art project, gymnastics, trampline, a pizza dinner, and more.  The cost for this event is $20 for members/ $25 for non members if signed up by Thursday July 15.  The cost is $30 on the event date.  Space is limited so sign up early.   July 16.

3. CHOM "Around the Campfire!"

What's better than a fun campfire with friends and family???  S'Mores!  This Saturday, you can enjoy themed activities at the Children's Hands On Museum while learning about sundials, chlorophyll, and playing in the amazing exhibits.  CHOM has taken many health precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe.  Please, visit their website for more details. July 17.

4. Harrison Taylor Splash Pat

The splash pad is open 12-5 pm Monday- Saturday, and Sunday 1-5pm through Labor Day.  This is such a treat for children and caregivers too!  Meet up with your playgroup or make new friends at the splash pad this week.   Click the link for more details.

5. Vacation Bible School

One of my favorite summertime memories will always be Vacation Bible School, many churches in the area have already had theirs for 2021.   Northport Free Will Baptist Church is having VBS starting July 11- July 14.  You can click here to see more information.  Mount Olive Baptist Church is also having VBS this week.  They begin July 12th and go through the 16th.  You can find out more details by clicking here.  If your church has a VBS coming up, I'd love to add it to the calendar in advance.  Please, submit any summer 2021 VBS events here.
