Filed Under Events | July 12, 2007
We’re taking it outside this weekend with lots of fun at the beach, an event little train enthusiasts won’t want to miss, the opening of Vancouver’s newest farmer’s market and an online sale. We love summer!
16th Annual Sandcastle Competition in West Point Grey
Friday, July 13, 10 am – 2 pm, Spanish Banks West
Take your tots to view fabulous sandy creations at this day of sand, fun and adventure. Sure you could call 604.257.8140 and register your own team of 10, but we’re thinking that the little ones will be more inspired by admiring than creating. More details on their website: westpointgrey.org/programs/special_events/
Summer Train Spectacular
Saturday, July 14th, 12 pm – 4 pm, Rocky Mountaineer Station @ 1755 Cottrell Street
Budding engineers won’t want to miss this chance to have their photos taken on the Rocky Mountaineer, ride on a miniature train, and potentially win a trip on a big train. More details on their website: rockymountaineer.com/summer_special
The 30th Annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival
July 13th, 14th & 15, Jericho Beach Park
Great music, great location, great fun. What more needs to be said about our famous folk fest? Those of you feeling folksy with kids in tow will want to visit the activity area designed just for Little Folks. More details on their website: www.thefestival.bc.ca
Kitsilano Farmers Market at Kits Community Centre
July 15, 10 am – 2 pm, 2690 Larch Street between 10th & 12th
The newest farmer’s market in town opens this Sunday and we can’t wait. As you know, we’re big fans of farmer’s markets so the more the merrier as far as we’re concerned. More details on their website: www.eatlocal.org

July’s big share: We’re modeling such good sharing that we can’t understand why our kids have so much trouble with it. When you sign up for yoyomama in July you’ll be entered to win a $200 gift certificate from Natural Pod, a great local online source for natural items that meet all your kid’s needs from teething to playtime.
Me too! Already a subscriber? Don’t worry, we’re not leaving you out. Every time you use the forward feature at the bottom of your daily email to share yoyomama with a friend, you’ll be entered in our contest too.
Dad’s we know think Natural Pod’s Buildable Treehouse, would make a perfect gift, but we’re not sure if they’re thinking of their offspring or theirselves.
