Enjoy Some Family Time Without Breaking The Bank

Good Times Guide For The Week of April 4, 2011

This calendar of events gives you many ways to enjoy time with your family without breaking the bank. Some events require that you call ahead, so I have included the phone number and/or web address.  Don’t forget that the Scranton Library has passes for discounted or free admission to many Connecticut attractions.  Enjoy!
