South Sound Walk to Cure Diabetes

When/Where: 7:30 a.m. - noon, Saturday beginning at the University of Washington Tacoma campus.

Price: Free to register.

 

Story Time With Leroy

When/Where: 11 a.m., Wednesday at the Tacoma Art Museum at 1701 Pacific Ave.

Why Go: A trip to the museum is not always looked forward to by the youngest members of our families, not usually having developed a sense of art appreciation quite yet. Story time with Leroy is a good excuse to visit the current exhibit, while the stories being shared are related to the work you'll be viewing.

Price: Free with museum admission.

 

When/Where: Times vary depending on your local Home Depot store.

Why Go: 's first Saturday workshop conveniently falls the day before Mother's Day. So that makes you super last-minute folks in luck.

Price: Free.

 

Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman

When/Where: 4 p.m. - 5 p.m., Wednesday at the Parkland/Spanaway Library and 2 p.m. - 3 p.m., Saturday at the Graham Pierce County Library.

Why Go: Kids in the 3rd through the 5th grade pair in teams to solve science and engineering challenges that have been featured on the PBS series. Hands-on fun and uses their noodles.

Price: Free (must register for the event).
