Three day weekend holidays are great as most working
Americans have the holiday off. But with
so many people out of work and struggling to make ends meet, Forbes Living
wanted to offer some ideas about how to have an affordable or free weekend.
Pot luck picnics are fun and allow families and friends to
get together. It’s not too late to plan one. Send a holiday themed email to
people and ask them if they want to attend and what they can bring. It might be
a good idea to suggest everyone bring their own drinks, and tableware. Find a
local park or someone’s big backyard to have meet, eat and play. The idea is to
not have to pay an entry fee.
Go to a local Memorial Day service. They are inspiring and
make great educational moments for children. Many cities across the country have
one. Parking is usually free although it can get crowded.
Gather the family and brainstorm ideas for a cool family
retreat. Scout the local newspapers for free admission to zoos, parks and
museums. Some city pools will be open this weekend.
Since the weather may not be too cooperative, Forbes LivingTV suggests having a movie day in. Use your favorite video rental program to
choose family favorites. Cook barbeque food and then sit back and enjoy the
time with your family.
