Looking for some free family fun this weekend?  Here is a round up of free activities and events.  It’s always a good idea to check with your local store before going to make sure that they are participating (especially if you’ve got a drive).

Here are my top picks:

Bass Pro Shops – November 15th through December 24th, free Photo with Santa! Get a FREE 4×6 studio-quality photo in-store! Meet Santa and let him know what’s on your list for this year. Other photo packages and Christmas cards available for purchase and instant print at the store.

American Girl – Project Runway Inspired by BeForever™ Tour. It’s a first-ever American Girl event. For two exciting days, we will be hosting an exhibit of BeForever-inspired fashion designs as seen on a recent episode of the hit television show Project Runway.
