Winter Break Survival Guide:  Things to Do in Forsyth County

Forsyth County Schools are closed for 11 days over the Winter Break.  When you add the weekends in, it means the kids will be home 17 days straight.
I am completely thrilled to have my kids at home for such a long period.  The days will be filled with staying up late, sleeping in (hopefully) and we’ll be so busy with family fun & activities that those 17 days will seem more like just a few!  But the truth is – they’ll also get bored.  They’ll start to fight with each other.  And on December 27th, they’ll likely complain that they have nothing to play with.  Sound familiar?
So, we’re sharing a round-up of ideas and fun in Forsyth County, be sure to check out our Calendar of Events for a full listing.
