Kidsburgh: deCARstruction

1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.Image via WikipediaThis Saturday, the Children’s Musuem will be taking apart a grand wagoneer and looking at creative ways to reuse the parts.  Happy Harry the Saturday Mechanic will be on hand to help deconstruct the car and see what’s inside.  While I hate to see a grand wagoner go to waste, I think this sounds like a pretty neat exhibit for kids and adults.

Sat, Nov 1, 10a.m. until 5p.m.

Family Fun – Millvale's Creepy Harvest Party

Just along the rivers is the beautiful Riverfront Park (I think this is one of the hidden gems of the regions parks – check out my picture from this summer – you can see the river be hind the sculpture.)

This weekend is all about the kids – stop by the riverfront park from 5-7pm for all sorts of family fun – pumpkins, apple cider, face painting, scary stories and more.  Just $3 a kid, parents are FREE.  This is the perfect excuse to check out the riverfront park and to enjoy fun fall treats like pumpkins and apple cider and scarecrow making.
