WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
THE COFOUNDER OF FAMILY FUN
TWIN CITIES.
YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER, MYA, WHO
HELPS YOU OUT OFTEN.
I HAVE A DAUGHTER, MYA, AND
A FEW OTHER CHILDREN.
FOUR.
YOU NEED SOME FREE FAMILY
FUN.
YES, FREE FAMILY FUN.
ALL YOU'RE DOING IS BUYING
CLOTHES AND FOOD.
WELL, FAMILY FUN TWIN CITIES
SEARCHES THE TWIN CITIES FOR
ALL THE GREAT THINGS AROUND
TOWN AND SOME OF OUR FAVORITE
THINGS HAPPEN DURING THE
HOLIDAYS.
SO, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE
FOUND IS A FREE MOTHER'S DAY
EVENT.
ALL MOTHERS DAY EVENTS, BUT A
FREE BOOK EVENT.
IF YOU'RE GIVING US
CHRISTMAS EVENTS, YOU'RE A LIT
EARLY.
THIS IS READING OVER AT MALL OF
AMERICA.
THEIR HAVING A SPECIAL BOOK
READING.
THE BOOK IS CALLED, HOW TO
RAISE A MOTHER.
AND SO IT'S ALL ABOUT LITTLE
KIDS RAISING THEIR MOM.
IT'S VERY TRUE.
A MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO
BECOME A MOTHER.
AND SATURDAY AT 11:00 AT
BARNES AND NOBLE.
TEA TIME FAMILY DAY.
THAT'S AT THE INSTITUTE OF
ART.
IT'S ALWAYS FREE, BUT ONCE A
MONTH, THEY DO FAMILY DAYS
WHERE THEY HAVE EXTRA THINGS TO
DO.
SO, DEMONSTRATIONS WITH TEA
TIME.
THIS MONTH.
THEY ALWAYS HAVE TEACUP
PAINTING AND DYEING TEA TOWELS
WITH NATURAL DYES.
VERY COOL.
ALL THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE FREE.
ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE
FREE.
PLUS ALL THE AMAZING ART.
NUMBER THREE IS A MOTHER'S
DAY PHOTO BOOTH.
THIS IS DONE BY THE THREE
RIVERS PARK DISTRICT, AND THEY
HAVE ALL THESE PROPS FOR YOU TO
DO, TO TAKE PICTURES WITH.
IT'S AT THE EASTMAN NATURE
CENTER IN DAYTON.
AND THAT WILL BE FUN, BECAUSE I
GUESS THEY USE PROPS AND IT'S
FROM 1:00 TO 3:00 ON SUNDAY.
WHO DOESN'T LOVE A SELFIE
WITH MOM?
LASTLY, YOU HAVE A SYMPHONY TO
TELL US ABOUT.
YES, THERE IS A FREE
SYMPHONY.
AN ANNUAL MOTHER'S DAY SYMPHONY
THAT HAPPENS IN THE LAND MARK
CENTER IN ST. PAUL.
IT IS PERFORMED BY THE ST. PAUL
CIVIC SYMPHONY.
AND THEY DO THESE FREE
CONCERTS.

EVERYTHING LOOKING?

DUCK.
I THINK YOU MIGHT BE ON TO
SOMETHING.
