Kid Friendly Activities around our Neighborhood: Calling all Gamers! – I happened upon a great shop right in our own “back yard” that is perfect for kids of all ages right at 6372 Delmar called The Wizard’s Wagon.

We LOVE playing card and board games and The Wizard’s Wagon gives us a great outlet for those fun times.

They have game nights weekly where you are welcome to “try out” games they have in stock right in their store.

They even have game clubs for the more advanced gamers out there, but you have to check out their Facebook page for schedules and details: www.facebook. com/thewizardswagon.

They can even order games in for you! Great Forest Park Balloon Race and Glow – This annual hot-air balloon event is September 19 – 20th.

The Glow is Friday evening followed by the Race on Saturday taking off from Central Field. Craft Alliance Center – Did you know there are classes offered for kids at Craft Alliance? You get to play and create with clay, try your hand with photography or learn about 3D modeling and more.

All this you can walk to! www.craftalliance.org Do you like soda? What about Soda Floats? – Walk on down to Rocket Fizz (6303 Delmar) for Taste Test Tuesdays where from noon – 8pm you pay on $5+tax to test and try 10 different sodas, keep your tasting glass and get to take home a fresh cool soda of your choice from that week’s choices to take home. Rocket Fizz has also teamed up with Snarf’s to create your dream Soda Float. Rocket Fizz supplies your choice of soda then walk next door to Snarf’s for your ice cream choice all for about $5.00.

If you have other kid friendly events you would like included in this section, please email kidscorner@sdtimes.org Question for November Kids Corner: Have a photo of yourself and your treasures from Rags to Riches?

We want to see them!
