Silly Bandz trading event
I'm just catching onto the Silly Bandz craze, having read a New York Times article on how the colorful bracelets have become popular among adults. Tween Tuesday's Liz Atwood also wrote about the trend recently.
It reminds me of those crazy snap-on bracelets that were all the rage when I was in middle school in the 1980s. Anyone remember those?
Arts and crafts store A.C. Moore is holding a free event for children to trade their bracelets at its stores on Thursday (July 15), 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The event is taking place at all its Baltimore area locations, including Towson, White Marsh and Glen Burnie.
If you take your child there, report back to us.

Ok, I'm going to do it - I'm taking my 8-yr-old son to the Glen Burnie event. He's so excited - I just hope it turns out fun ...

It was actually a lot of fun! There were about 10 girls, and Kiddo was one of 4 boys there. There was LOTS of trading going on and Kiddo came home very happy. I hope they do this again - we'll definitely participate, and bring friends next time!
