Get Out: Thanksgiving Weekend

What's going on in the Ardmore Patch area this weekend.

With a four-day weekend at hand, it's time to catch up on sleep, do some holiday shopping, and of course, fit in some quality time with the fam. Here are a few ideas for getting out this weekend, including a post-turkey workout session, Santa's visit to Suburban Square, a Sesame Street matinee, and a country music song and story night at MilkBoy.

  • When/Where: Friday, Nov. 25 at 9:30 a.m. at All Saints Church, Wynnewood
  • Why Go: Start your Black Friday off right (or take a break from the insanity) and head to All Saints Church for Performance Fitness Boot Camp's post-turkey workout Friday morning. This is also the kickoff for the 3rd Annual Get Your Can To Class food drive, which will benefit Philabundance. All ages and fitness levels welcome.
  • Cost: One can of food per person.

Lego Festival At Ardmore Library

  • When/Where: All day on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25 and 26, at Ardmore Library
  • Why Go: Have some Lego lovers in your family? Head to the Ardmore Library this Friday or Saturday to make Lego projects and "Lego snacks."
