Sending the kids to camps, pools, and arcades during the summer can get expensive, so we're going to help you find some free fun that will save you some money and keep them from getting bored too.
First up, a chance for parents and kids to build a car together!
Kids can get two free games of bowling EVERY DAY this summer, and all we have to do is sign them up. This program keeps growing, and now might be the time to petition our favorite bowling alleys to get more of them involved. Some that are a short drive away will be part of it.
If you're not using the Kurth Memorial Library in Lufkin, or the Nacogdoches Public Library on a regular basis you're totally missing out. It's a great resource and it's free! Check out these 5 reasons why the library is awesome.
Texans can be big eaters, and sometimes that saves us money.
How about a little weekend challenge? If you can polish off a monster burger at one restaurant in Nacogdoches, the meal is free. And it's just one of the Texas restaurants on a long list that will give you the opportunity to eat your way to victory.
The school year hasn't even started yet, and so far it's awesome to be a 4th grader.
And parents, if you're lucky enough to have a 4th grader in the family like me, that's worth a free ticket to places like the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The whole family gets in free! Here's how it works.
When the campsite is free, we can spend more on food, beverages, and gear. With Memorial Day Weekend coming up, now is the time to think about where you want to pitch that tent, so we've compiled a list of the best free campsites around East Texas.
The Arbor Day Foundation will send you ten free trees that are right for the East Texas climate, and they're guaranteed to grow in Lufkin. If they don't, they'll send you more! Here's how to get them.
