City Center Gallery & Books

A little gem I stumbled upon a few months ago on my hunt for the best coffee shops in Fayetteville. I was drawn immediately by the books lined up on the rack outside and then the quaint feeling I had as soon as I walked in. After being in the heart of downtown Fayetteville for over 10 years, City Center knows how to make reading fun for kids – even on Valentine’s Day!

Bring your kids to make their own special paper collage Valentine!
The event is $5 for each card, all the material included.
Come spread some love with us!

    These are some great ideas. I would have loved something like a cooking class for kids if only my child was a bit older. 🙂

      Thanks so much!! There are a lot of things for the littles too – I always loved doing craft based fun when my kiddies were smaller 😉

    We have family in North Carolina so we visit often. I love going to Charlotte anytime we visit.

    1. TheMrsTee Avatar

      I love Charlotte and don’t get there as much as I’d like – definitely a city full of character!

  7. Tracy Avatar

    These are some really cute ideas! I never really thought about celebrating Valentines Day with the kiddies. When I was little I would always get a box of chocolate from my parents but that’s it. I like the idea of making it a fun day for the kids!

    1. TheMrsTee Avatar

      Thanks Tracy! Yes, I do the same plus we always get the Krispy Kreme Valentine’s Donuts – it’s great to have traditions they will remember when they are older.
