Richmond This Week: Feb 16 – 22, 2015 http://richmondmom.com/2015/02/15/richmond-this-week-feb-16-22-2015/ http://richmondmom.com/2015/02/15/richmond-this-week-feb-16-22-2015/#comments Sun, 15 Feb 2015 22:00:29 +0000 http://richmondmom.com/?p=61534 RichmondThis Week

I suppose we shouldn’t have doubted the groundhog.

If we get as much snow as hype this week you’ll need this list we made last year of great spots to go sledding in Richmond.  We also have a few egg carton crafts and if you stock up on milk, only to get an inch of snow you may want this list too.  Whether you stay in or go out, please remember to bundle up. It’s seriously cold out there and if it does snow, you may want to call ahead to make sure these events are still happening.

Keep an eye out for events marked *FREE to save a little green, but there are lots of cheap and low cost events this week. Click on the link to get the details and scroll all the way down for all the information.  If you’d like to view our whole calendar of events you can do that here.

Join us at VA Historical Society for Free Children’s Corner Book Chat http://richmondmom.com/2012/02/19/join-us-at-va-historical-society-for-free-childrens-corner-book-chat/ http://richmondmom.com/2012/02/19/join-us-at-va-historical-society-for-free-childrens-corner-book-chat/#comments Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:30:26 +0000 http://richmondmom.com/?p=21352 Ellen always knew the broom
resting above the hearth was
special. But after it’s announced
in church that the marriages of
former slaves will be registered,
she hears more about why it
matters so much. As the whole
family travels to the courthouse
dressed, Ellen carries the broom
with them. With love and pride,
she finds a way to celebrate her
parents’ right to be legally married and remember their past. . .
Join us on March 24, 2012, at 1:00 pm for this special event!  Author Kelly Starling Lyons will visit the Virginia Historical Society to read her book, “Ellen’s Broom,” and present a program related to the text.

The event is free and open to the public–be sure to arrive early for this exciting meet-and-greet event because seating is limited.

And don’t forget–March is Women’s History Month and the Virginia Historical Society has amazing resources for Richmond parents and children with free stories several Thursdays and Saturdays.

More details may be found at the Virginia Historical Society website.
