Home Depot Day
2018-03-03 09:00 - 12:00 UTC | Home Depo, 2811 N Roosevelt Boulevard, Key West, FL, 33040, United States
Every 1st Saturday is "Home Depot Day" for kids in Key West. I'm not sure if they do this in every Home Depot store all over the country, but it's a big hit Key West.
At this monthly event - you'll find dozens of busy children: -

hammering,

building, and

painting

Home Depot provides tools, and kits (a different project kit each month). While supplies last kid work aprons are provided that children reuse, and at future visits. Souvenir project pins can be collected.
Collecting pins on aprons reminds me of Hard Rock suspenders full of collector pins from various Hard Rocks around the world.
Thank you Home Depot for the many years of Saturday fun!

ONE NIGHT ONLY
"SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “Broadway’s big, fat hit!” (New York Post). Set in 1595, this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are desperate to write a hit play. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “The Producers + Spamalot + The Book of Mormon. Squared!” (New York Magazine)."
