Family Fun Day at the Del Mar Racetrack
Have you made it to the races yet? Monday September 6th is Family Fun Day at the Del Mar Racetrack.
Lots of great entertainment for the kids - jumpees, pony rides, magic shows and more!
Kids are FREE & adults are only $6 - but wait! There's more...be a fan of the races on Facebook and you can print out two free tickets with the code (scroll down to see a update with instructions)
If you work it right you can have a very fun and very frugal day at the races! You will have to pay for parking - but look at all the freebies! Parking is a small price to pay.
Have fun but please don't bet more than you will regret!
Enjoy ~

* Diamond Club Members get 1/2 price admission EVERY DAY! click the link for details
* If you are a Diamond Club Member you gotta take advantage of 'Free & Easy Wednesdays'! If you are a member = *FREE ADMISSION* FREE RESERVED SEAT * FREE PROGRAM * also half price beverages & hotdogs! (not on opening day!)
*Thursdays are 'Senior Days' - Seniors can take advantage of FREE admission, a program, & a seat - all for free!

Friday Deals & Steals ~ June 25th
These lists keep growing! I try to keep each post as short as possible - please check out the links for more information...
* Return your overdue library books, CDs, Movies, etc - ALL city libraries forgive fines on the last Friday of every month! At our library overdue DVD's are $1 a day - forgetting for a week is a bummer!
* Going to the Fair? You are in luck because on Friday Pennysaver magazine sponsors a BIG coupon book good for lots of discounts at many vendors in the fair.
* TGIF Jazz in the Parks has started YAY!!! this is in Carlsbad & we have been going since we first started dating (*sigh*) - these are the BEST - but it will be crowded! bring a picnic & enjoy! - Stagecoach Park
* Cruisin Down Grand in Escondido is so fun!
*FREE Movie at San Marcos Civic Center - outdoors so dress accordingly
*Friday Night Live Music in Del Mar (I've never been, but it sounds like a great date night!)
* NTC Promenade in Point Loma ~ open artist studios, interactive activities, performances, and more- 5-9pm 2690 Historic Decatur Rd - call 619-573-9315 for more details or check out their website - again, I've never been - but my friend Megan says it is great!
* Sweetwater Park in Bonita is hosting a FREE outdoor movie - they are showing Planet 51
* Concerts on the Green in El Cajon begins!
* Totally Thomas game night in Carmel Valley at 'Totally Thomas' store
I suggest everyone go out and invest in a picnic basket - because if you are on this blog very long, you will notice that many summer freebies are outdoor concerts & movies - these are GREAT inexpensive family or even date nights! We like to make a Trader Joe's run right before we go - super easy, feels casual but still special & SOOO much less expensive than going out - hope to see you out and about!
