Local Happenings: Barney

If you haven't heard about it already then you must be living under a rock or simply don't listen to the radio Barney's Let's Go!. For those of you with children if you little tyke hasn't already switched on the water works, then consider yourself warned.

My daughter heard the news ad of the event, and begged me to go. I was adamant not to attend due to two things:

1. I consider it a punishment
2. It would require me to purchase 6 tickets!

Well for those of you interested in taking your little ones here is the info. (also click on link above for web site)
