Great post! We are always looking for fun, free events. We went to a local park with hiking trails today and filled an hour plus with a three mile hike.

I was going to mention the library too. Ours has cool things like “pajama night” where you take the kids in for storytime in their PJs.

Also, some churches do fun free things in the summertime. Ours is doing a picnic on the lawn with free ice cream and popcorn twice, and in August will do a movie night on the lawn. Fun and free (well, paid for with tithe monies. They outreach to the community with this.

We also just finished Vacation Bible School week, although I learned that our church is the only one in the county that doesn’t charge for this. I loved VBS as a kid, and I know people who were saved that week.

Also, public libraries are free!! (although they aren’t exactly “events”).

But check your local library for the times it’s open. I have discovered that the libraries in my city have shortened their hours of operation significantly because of the poor economy (and the city’s lack of $$).

The story of my life will be told as I was the worlds greatest people watcher. Combined with window shopping those two activities really make up the bulk of the best times I’ve had with my future wife. We love it. See society, stretch the legs, and be thankful we can afford to buy stuff but don’t want to.
