Get Out: Your Weekend Planner

Every Thursday, JohnstonPatch lists great weekend events and activities in and around our town.

At Mohr Library: Drop-in crafts on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for kids older than 3 years old. Supplies provided; creativity encouraged.

Audubon Society: It's getting nice enough to go outside — head over to the Audbon Society for its Pysanky Workshop. What's Pysanky? It's a Ukrainian egg-dyeing craft. All supplies provided — be sure to wear clothes that can get premanently stained. At 3 p.m. — weather permitting — there's a nature walk scheduled.

Providence Children's Museum: Kids from 3 to 11 years of age are invited to the Museum's "Magnet Play" on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free with $8.50 admission; check with local libraries to see if they have passes available that reduce the admission to $2.
