Wonderade Punch List
Hampton Roads Weekend
Friday, Oct 16
Saturday is drizzly with a 77% chance of rain, so lean on indoor plans like the Military and Community Helper Family Appreciation Day and Characters, Costumes, & Controllers. Sunday turns sunny and cooler, a good day for the Hampton Roads Black Food Festival and the Kids Adventure Terrarium Workshop.
