Vernon Hills Y offers 'Drop & Shop: Parents' Day Out' Dec. 17

Parents of children ages 6 months to 11 years can get in a few hours of holiday shopping – or quiet time – on their own while the kids enjoy quality activities at Lake County Family YMCA's Vernon Hills facility.

The Drop & Shop: Parents' Day Out event takes place Saturday, Dec. 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Central Lake YMCA, 700 Lakeview Parkway.

There's a fun-filled four hours of games, crafts, healthy snacks and more in store for the kids while their parents get in some last-minute shopping or just enjoy a quiet Saturday morning to themselves.

In order to participate, registration must be completed by Dec. 16.

The fees for Lake County Family YMCA members are $25 for the first child and $5 for each additional child.

Community members will be charged $35 for the first child and $7 for each additional child.

All Lake County Family YMCA programs are designed to encourage the four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
