Free Fun!

Looking for something fun to do, but don't want to spend much money....or any money for that matter? Have you checked out your local public library?

Living in Bolingbrook, we belong to Fountaindale Public Library and they have events going on all the time.

Last week Mark and I went to a Mexican cooking night, where a chef cooked Mexican food right in front of us, explained each recipe and the process, and gave us recipes to take home. Then, when he was done cooking, we each got a plate of food to try his creations. It was informative, fun, and delicious! Check out the plate of food we each got below. Not bad for being free!

Some other FREE activities our library has:

Jewelry making class - make your own jewelry using provided supplies
Craft nights - on the first Thursday of the month you can bring your scrapbooking or card making projects and mingle and craft with others
Halloween Spooky Treats - Learn how to make treats such as witches fingers, a twinkie graveyard, and spooky popcorn. Sample in class and take the recipes home.
Zumba - If you pre-register you can take zumba classes at the library.
Yoga - If you pre-register you can take yoga classes at the library.
Drawing from A to Z - Free drawing classes
City of Ghosts - An interactive ghost theater of spine-tingling stories and local history.

These are just the events our library has, but if you look into the public library for your town, I'm sure you will find something of interest. There are also many children's events and activities as well as events for teens. Having fun does not have to mean going broke! :)
