Fun Summer Freebies

The only way to make summer fun even better is to make it FREE! Check out these ideas to add to your summer plans:

• Kids can bowl 2 free games a day through September by registering at kidsbowlfree.com

• The National Park Service is celebrating its 97th birthday...and we get the present. On August 25, the government will waive entrance fees to every national park. Check nps.gov for info.

• Many cities, and even some beaches, offer outdoor movies during the summer. Check out town's official website or Google free outdoor movies and your hometown.

• Text REDBOOK to 727272 and Redbox will send you a code good for a free movie rental every single month.

• Sign up at kidsskatefree.com and you'll be e-mailed up to four kids' roller-skating passes every single week. If your local rink isn't participating, the site has  a letter you can print out, asking them to join the program.

• 7-11 is giving away free Slurpees on July 11.

Let the summer fun begin!
