ALL DAY - Win a $150 Cat & Mouse Shopping Spree
We'll have a series of mental challenges and brainteasers set out throughout the store.  For every conundrum you solve or challenge you beat, you'll receive a raffle ticket.  The more you earn, the better your chances to win the shopping spree!  We'll pick the winning ticket near the end of the day, 6:45pm sharp.

11:30 am - Word Frolic Game Show & Pizza Party
The makers of Word Frolic will be on hand to play the game that takes the mystery out of metaphors.  Every kid who plays will go home with a copy and enjoy some pizza, too!
