Whether young or young at heart there is something mystical about the end of March and “Spring Break.” While we rarely experience the harshness of the season that many do, we all look forward to this annual rite marking the end of winter. Whether we actually have a week off, take a week off or sneak a day here or there it feels good to get out and enjoy.
With such a bounty of activity in our great state, we often forget about the treasures we have right here in our own backyard. Spring is a wonderful time to visit some of our historic properties, take in a ride on the Carousel (really, it’s not just for kids), pack a picnic lunch and enjoy our wonderful parks or get out of the mall and explore our historic downtown. Don’t forget Hallie Ford is free on Tuesdays.
If you are looking for something to keep the kids busy while you still have to work, Mission Mill Museum and A.C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village have a week full of special activities planned for Spring Break. Visit their websites at www.missionmill.org and www.acgilbert.org for more information. You can also see what classes the Keizer Art Association has planned at www.keizerarts.org.
There are a lot of options during spring break, the most important thing is to get out and enjoy, play and discover. Visit www.artsmartsalem.org for a listing of events for the current month and remember, “There’s Something to do in Salem”.
