Have Some Fun In The Capital Region And Do It For FREE!

Who doesn't like FREE? Lately, with prices the way they are, FREE is a four-letter word we all want to hear! Now that the weather is warmer, kids are getting out of school, or maybe you want to get out of the house, many free activities are happening in the Capital Region!

When was the last time you went on a picnic? It's been that long; I can't remember. Now is the time to change that! Flag Day Picnic at the Pub is June 16, at the Clubhouse Pub at RPI!

Teach your kids or yourself about world cuisine. Around the World Cuisine is a monthly class at Honest Weight that will explore countries worldwide and introduce our youngest cooperators to some classic cultural examples of food. You are given passports to be stamped at each monthly session. The next session features China's cuisine at noon and is Saturday, June 18, at the Teaching Kitchen @ Honest Weight Food Co-op, 100 Watervliet Ave.

Happening on the same day at the Honest Weight Co-op, be a taste-tester for the Plant-Based Bacon Taste Test. You will evaluate three unique plant-based bacon products' appearance, texture, and taste. Then, you can score yourself a $20 gift card to Honest Weight Food Co-op just for your opinion. That has to be a win right there!

How about a craft fair full of handbags and bling? Head to Troy for local craft vendors, live music, and food trucks at the 2022 For the Love of Bags and Bling event! The event is on June 18 and starts at 11 am on Winter Street in Troy.

Are you a fan of trivia? How about a fan of Disney? Those two are combined together for Disney Movie Trivia Night at the Funny Bone on Thursday, June 23, starting at 7:30 pm! Grab your friends for a free night of fun trivia. Make your reservations at this 21+ event through the Funny Bone in Crossgates.

There is something different for everyone for the month of June. Hopefully, more free events throughout the summer because this 4-letter word just became our favorite!
