I’ve got two related events for those parents and children out there. At the San Marcos Public Library from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., there will be a Baby Day event hosted by Start Smart Hays and Caldwell. There will be resources and activities that highlight the first three years of a child's life, including information on how to support an infants growth and development during those critical stages. Then you can walk over to Plaza Park for Dia Del Nino hosted by Parents as Teachers, which is also from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event will have an array of fun festivities for family and kids, including a Mariachi band, Ballet Folklorico, pinatas and bouncy houses. I’m sure all of the festivities will leave you pretty hungry, so you can walk over to Alvin Ords for a sandwich or Valentino’s for a slice of pizza. Those are two of my favorite downtown restaurants.
