This post marks ONE YEAR for The Queen City Buzz...cannot believe it has been a year already. Thank you all for checking in every week (that's 52 times) to see what's happening for kids and families in the Queen City. I feel blessed to be able to do this week after week. No plans to stop anytime soon, so please share The QCB with your friends, family or anyone who might be looking for family-friendly things to do around here. As always, please feel free to email me with upcoming events to be included in "The Buzz"...I couldn't do this without your help. I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving. I am certainly THANKFUL for you all!!
