Wake Forest, NC - SPECIAL EVENTS Highlighted

One of the most exciting things about living in Wake Forest are the wonderful events and activities that take place throughout the year. They provide a great opportunity for residents to partake in the community, meet new friends and just have a good time! Every week I highlight what is upcoming for the following week in Wake Forest and I hope that you have found the information useful in planning your week.

Gotta love kids events! I just spent my entire Friday evening at Caras Park here in Missoula for Kiddapalooza...a charity event to raise money for the Children's Museum here in town. It was a blast!

Clint - That does sound like fun!!!

Don - I know that we sometimes get "blog block" but there is an unlimited supply of things to do, things to see and places to go in Wake Forest that I honestly don't have enough time. This list though is awesome with all of the FREE stuff! Now, as I just have said that, hubby is asking if there is anything to do today. HAHA

Leesa, I particularly like this events announcement because now you are getting into longer term events and people can put things down on the calendar. It's not like it is something that will pop up just this week. Very good.

Gary - Thanks for always reading my events post. I wish I could always get these events out early but sometimes the info just isn't available.

Cristal - Wow - I don't envy you moving AT ALL!
