Parent/Child Dates
I know that Father/Daughter and Mother/Son date events can sound a little exclusive. If you like the theme of an event and your family doesn’t perfectly fit the category, don’t be afraid to call and ask if you can still register. Many venues just want parents to have fun with their kids.
Daddy Daughter Date Night Friday, February 12, 2021 at 6-7:30 pm at Hearts of Clay. This annual Valentine’s Daddy Daughter Date Night includes chocolate, candies, cookies and soft drinks and water. Call to reserve your seat. $5 per family plus cost of pottery.
