Little Lido Kids Club
06.12.17
At my favorite indie book store in Orange County, Lido Village Books, you can introduce your kids to their Lido Marina Village Kids Club on Thursday, June 15 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Bring the kids and enjoy a reading of Escargot by Dashka Slater and Sydney Hanson, followed by an interactive sing-a-long on the patio outside of Lido Village Books. Kids can enjoy a fun snail-inspired craft and moms will love the specials from participating Lido Marina Village retailers including 10% off your book purchase at Lido Village Books and Sugarfina candy bags and $25 off purchases at Eberjey. This event is free and open to the public, but it's best to RSVP by visiting http://bit.ly/2rVkUWU. Each person who RSVPs will receive 1 entry for a drawing of a $25 gift certificate to Lido Village Books.
Can't make it? Don't worry, the Lido Marina Kids Club will be held every third Thursday of the month.
Lido Village Books is located at 3424 Via Oporto Suite 102, Newport Beach.
