Family Fun with Linda Whitlow
Westcor® Style Panel's Family Fun Aficionado
 We asked Linda to help us with some family fun for everyone.
A good place to take the family, including the grandparents, for fun is an afternoon picnic at one of the parks around the Valley – especially before it gets too hot! It’s one of my favorite things to do with the family that is affordable and fun. You can pack a lunch for everyone, bring a Frisbee or ball and spend some quality time with the entire family!
There are many parks to choose from below are just a few:
