MOMS PLAY FREE AT WELL PLAYED ON MOTHER’S DAY!
Who runs the world? Moms do, and to celebrate all the fantastic moms out there, Well Played Board Game Café is hosting the ultimate game day experience. Come to Well Played on Mother’s Day and treat Mom to play for free.
Mother’s Day Gift Event
Kids can make their mom a special gift for Mother’s Day by planting a flowering plant in a container of their own choosing. They will provide the supplies needed for this event, such as plants from a greenhouse, empty pots, pebbles, and potting mix, all FREE of charge.
The table will be arranged with the supplies and set up in front of Bohemian Baby, inside the Grove Arcade. They will also provide gloves and aprons for kids to wear, so they don’t get too dirty while planting.
Each child can choose one plant to plant, and they will be on hand to give guidance on the correct planting techniques.
“Circle ‘Round the Music for Kids” Live String Quartet for Kids
LIVE STRING QUARTET CONCERT FOR KIDS!

Miss Yvette believes that music is a baby’s native language. It’s magic to them. She will lead families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers in singing, dancing and conducting along with the string quartet featuring local musicians.
