>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WITH GAS PRICES IN GROCERY SKYROCKETING. WE KNOW FAMILIES
LOOKING FOR SOME WAYS TO SAVE
WHILE KEEPING THEIR KIDS BUSY
THIS SUMMER. SO WE ASKED
JACQUES FOR KIDS TO HELP US
FIND SOME SUMMERTIME DEALS AND
DISCOUNTS. ALISON PETERS
CARLSON IS JOINING US NOW LIVE
VIA ZOOM TO SHARE WITH US WHAT
SHE HAS FOUND AROUND NORTHEAST
FLORIDA. GOOD MORNING. THANKS
FOR BEING WITH US.
>> MORNING JEN, GOOD TO SEE
YOU. SO I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT
OF DEALS. SO LET’S GET
STRAIGHT TO THAT. SO WE CAN
FIT IT ALL INTO THE SEGMENT,
OK? SO FIRST, GREAT WAY, OF
COURSE, TO BEAT THE HEAT AND
AND KEEP THE KIDS ENTERTAINED
FOR A WHILE AS BOWLING. KIDS
BOWL FREE. THIS PROGRAM HAS
BEEN AROUND FOR I THINK ABOUT
15 YEARS. AND IT’S A FANTASTIC
PROGRAM.
>>MELANIE LAWSON: KIDS CAN
BOWL TO 2 GAMES TODAY. FREE OF
CHARGE. THEY DO CHARGE FOR
SHOES IF YOU DON’T HAVE AND
IT’S FREE. JUST GO ONLINE AND
REGISTER. WONDERFUL PROGRAM
AND THEIR LOCATIONS
EVERYWHERE. BUT THE LOCATIONS
ON THE SCREEN AS WELL AS PLAT
THE GAINESVILLE PALM COAST. I
WILL SAY THAT VARIES THE AGE
BY BY LOCATION. SO, FOR
EXAMPLE, YOU LEE IS 12 AND
ANASTASIA BOWLING LANES TO 18
YEARS OLD, ABOUT FAMILY 2 TO
15 YEARS OLD TO DO. KEEP IN
MIND, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT
AGE. YOU AND I LOVE THAT. THEY

BRING A BLANKET. THEY’RE GOING
TO HAVE SOME FOOD TRUCKS ACTS
THAT KIND OF THING BRING A
BLANKET COME EARLY. GETS NICE
WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING
OUTDOORS.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: YEAH,
OUTDOORS AND I LOVE THOSE AND
SO TAKE MY KIDS TO THOSE WHEN
THEY WERE YOUNGER TO BECAUSE
IT’S SO HOT. SOMETIMES IN THE
MORNING. IT SAYS YOU JUST HAVE
A BREAK AND SIT INSIDE IN THE
AC AT THE MOVIE THEATERS AT
SAYS THERE ARE ALSO SOME
HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE AS WELL. AND IT’S
INTERESTING HOUSING BECAUSE I
THINK WITH THE PANDEMIC, A LOT
OF PEOPLE AND PARENTS MAYBE
CHANGE THEIR ROUTINE. SHE’S
GIVEN COVID AND NOW WE’RE
FINALLY ABLE TO KIND OF GET
BACK INTO THESE AND FORGOT
ABOUT SOME OF THESE HANDS-ON
WORKSHOPS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
