We are returning to North Hills this spring and summer to add to the fun that's already planned as part of its
North Hills Kids series!
Our first big event is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, May 15. It's all free!
North Hills will pull out its big, colorful foam blocks to play with. And we'll bring more fun!
Here's the line-up:
9 a.m.: The big event opens with blocks, drinks, snacks and Sesame Street activity sheets for the kids. The Wake County Sheriff's Office will offer free child identification cards all morning.
9:30 a.m.:
Stroller Strides Midtown Raleigh offers a free class for moms and their stroller-riding kids. This is a great hour-long workout for moms. It's designed for all fitness levels and incorporates little activities for the kids too. If you're interested in the class,

9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (note the new time): The
Chick-fil-A cow stops by for a visit!
10:30 a.m.:
First In Fire Company will bring out its fire truck for kids to explore. The company, owned by a local dad, rents out the truck for parties.
11 a.m.:
Raleigh mom Rissi Palmer, who once hit the country charts and opened for the likes of Taylor Swift, Sawyer Brown and Sarah Evans, will perform songs from her new family album "Best Day Ever!" Read more about Palmer in
this earlier post.
We also will be collecting diapers for
The Diaper Train, a local group that distributes the diapers to needy families in Wake County. Please consider dropping off a box of diapers and even opened packages of diapers in sizes that your kids are too big for.
And mark your calendars: We'll be back at North Hills for two more events - Wednesday, Aug. 21, and Saturday, Aug. 31!
I hope to see you there!
