Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Zumba, Winter Wonderland, and Basketball Art, January 19-23
Earlier this month we kicked off 2015 with a new feature to help you enjoy even more fun activities with your kids. In addition to our weekend events round-ups, every Monday we'll share weekday activity picks to enjoy Monday through Friday. We've also added an additional newsletter so our subscribers will get the new weekday events right in their inbox Monday mornings. Not a subscriber? Sign up now!
This week starts off with an extra long weekend and many events across the state to honor Martin Luther King. Then we've rounded up a toddler tour, a little Zumba, a Winter Wonderland, and more! Of course, we have loads of events listed every day in our events calendar so please check it out. If that midweek snow arrives, be sure to check out our guide to Hartford County Sledding Hills. Have fun!
