December 15, 2021

In honor of the holiday season, Macaroni Kid Allentown is bringing back a weekly article with 5 things to do each weekend in the surrounding area! This will replace the monthly bucket list article, because there is just TOO MUCH to limit it to 5 things for the whole month! 


1. Sweet and Sassy's Snow Glow Dance Party (https://www.facebook.com/events/649327516474935?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%7D]%7D)

This Friday, Sweet and Sassy will be hosting a special Snow Glow Dance Party. Guests will receive a special glow makeover, create fun glow crafts, and dance their heart out during a special glow dance party! I took my kids to Sweet and Sassy's last glow party and they're still talking about it! Boys and girls are welcome at this event! (Friday, December 17th)
