Aww, thank you Stuart!
Oh never mind I see where it says Monday afternoon too. Sorry!
No problem! When I first wrote the post, years ago, it was for Tuesdays only. But since that time they’ve added other days – which is great for us! 🙂
Is the $2 skating Monday even though your link says tuesdays?
I dint think the $12 a caseload at starlight is happening this weekend, still inexpensive but not $12
You’re right. I think it ended at the beginning of May. Sorry! But yes, still very inexpensive (and fun). 🙂
