20- Safety town at 10....bring helmets and bike and get your cruise on! I won't be there due to preschool open house, but you can all meet for some fun!

27- Detweiller Park at 10. We will be at the "spiderweb" park. That is what we call it. If any of you know the real name of the shelter, let me know!

From Knoxville turn on Detweiller, follow all the way down, stay left at the fork. Once you get the bottom of the hill you'll take your first right turn, almost like a u- turn into the parking lot. There is a sign there stating it is to a shelter. Follow it back and you'll see the park on your left.

Just an FYI: the park district has a great coupon for a free child's admission to the zoo with paid adult.
