Free and Fun Things to Do This Weekend with CT Kids: Fairs and Art Fest, Open Farm Day, Wilderness Survival 9/17-18

9/14/11 - By Mary Beth Lawlor

Wowza, I wish I had a time machine this weekend so that I could manipulate the clock and attend all of the fun  and creative events planned. There are loads of options and you'll be hard-pressed to choose just one. Wilton, Orange, Woodbury and Fairfield are having fairs this weekend. In Woodstock you can experience their Civil War Living History event. For survivalists, check out the free wilderness survival workshop in Kent and for animal lovers do the behind the scenes aquarium tour in Norwalk. There's even a hay bale search in Woodstock and a Rubber Duck Race in Woodbury. Club Getaway and K.E.L.F. are joining forces and opening the club for the day to families. Kayaking, the rock climbing wall and zip-lines are just a tiny bit of the activities to choose from on Sunday.

This week we've rounded up apple picking farms and are giving away tickets to the CT Renaissance Faire (the drawing ends this Friday night at 5pm.) If you are looking for after school activities in Fairfield check out our post. Join our growing facebook community and LIKE us today. You can also friend us on twitter to stay up to the minute with reminders of what's happening around town.

On a more serious note, our New Jersey editor has recently participated in a roundtable discussion for a CBS news special: "Bullying: Words Can KIll". It airs this Friday, September 16 at 8pm EST. The program covers the affects of bullying and explores methods to address it. Read more for the low-down on what's happening this weekend.
