Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Jewelry Making, Movies, and Mad Science July 6 - 10

7/5/15 - By Jacqueline Miller

Every summer I struggle with the misimpression that July 4th marks the midpoint of the season, but in fact we have nearly two months left until the kids head back to school. Luckily, Connecticut is jam packed with family friendly summer activities such as this week's jewelry making workshop, agricultural fair, and beachside movie

For more inspiration check out our Event Calendar, which is updated throughout the week, and our Summer Fun Guide.  Join us on Facebook where you can keep up with everything happening for families in CT.
