FFFF

On Fridays, I like to post some fun and frugal Eastern Iowa family adventure ideas for the upcoming weekend.

The Snow Queen at the Old Creamery Theatre in the Amana Colonies on Saturday, December 4 at 11 am.
The beautiful but evil snow Queen has cast a spell on Kai and taken him to her frozen castle, far away. His young friend Gerda begins the dangerous search for Kai and meets many interesting characters along the way. Will Gerda ever find the icy palace and will she be able to break the powerful spell to save her friend? Come celebrate the power of love and friendship in this Old Creamery Theatre for Young Audiences production.
Fire and Ice Festival in downtown Cedar Rapids on Saturday, December 4 from 2:30 to 9 pm. 2:30p.m. Activities Begin at Towne Square Plaza (210 3rd Ave. SE)
Free carriage rides through downtown, entertainment from fire juggler Doug Sayers, holiday décor including wrapped LED trees, vintage holiday banners and planters can be enjoyed throughout downtown along with holiday window displays provided by participating downtown businesses. Chili Challenge with Quality Chef Foods, Holiday DeLight Parade, Santa and Friends Meet-and-Greet where families are welcome to visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves and live reindeer while enjoying free holiday snacks.
Alternative Gift Market at Trinity Episcopal Church in Iowa City on Sunday, December 5 from 9 am to 1 pm.
Join us for some meaningful Christmas shopping. Make gift donations in honor of family and friends or buy gifts from our fair-trade vendors. Sales and donations benefit local, national, and international causes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
