Several years ago, my husband and I thought it would be fun to take the kids to the St. Nicholas Greek Festival. Little did we know how much fun. One minute, my daughter, then 4, was watching the dancing. The next, she was in the middle of it, holding the hands of two other little girls who could barely speak English. A little worried about losing her in the crowd, I jumped in and started dancing, too. It was one of the many reminders I've had of how wonderfully unafraid young kids can be to try new things. And that if you follow their lead sometimes, they will take you to great places. It's time again for the Greek festival, as well as Honfest and some other great local events. Check them all out at Findlocal. Here's my short list: Thursday, June 10: Nature story time takes place at 11 a.m. at Eden Mill Nature Center, with story and craft. Pre-registration required. St. Nicholas Greek Festival starts today and runs through Sunday at St. Nicholas Church. Friday, June 11: Mommy and Me makeovers will be offered from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Westfield Annapolis Mall. Makeovers for moms, free haircuts for kids. Honfest kicks off in Hampden with a concert tonight, and family activities through the weekend. The Kenilworth Summer Film Series kicks off tonight at The Shops At Kenilworth with a showing of "The Blind Side."
