NEK Moms Weekend Scoop: April 20-22

Moms and Dads, my family is over the moon with the news that Kingdom Trails Association opens its Darling Hill trail network tomorrow, Saturday, April 21st.   Our 2012 seasons pass is in hand, the bikes are lubed and even the kids’ “matching” bike gloves have been located (gasp!). If you don’t know why the Kingdom Trails network is such a cool thing, click on over here to learn what it could mean for your family.

If you’re looking for family-fun in the NEK, you’ve come to the right place at NEKMoms.com.

Here’s a quick peek of what’s hot for families in and around Vermont’s totally amazing and beautiful and rockin’ Northeast Kingdom–psst…if you think something should be listed here and it’s not anywhere to be found, please email nekmoms [*at*] gmail [*dot*] com or post the event on the NEKMoms Facebook page.

As always, thanks so much for visiting NEKMoms.com and a big thanks to our growing following of regular readers, who keep coming back day after day.  Come back soon, we’ve got a couple of cool giveaways in the queue!
