On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers the same sort of workshop between 9 a.m. and noon. (It only lasts that long if there's enough interest.)
These are free programs and great for both genders. Free aprons and eye protection are usually included and available for take-home. Certificates are personalized and offered at the end for successful completion of the project. Lowe's gives a patch and a sticker. Home Depot gives a pin for clothing. These are fun to collect and/or scrapbook. Take your camera . . . it's a hoot! Take advantage of it!
On the second Saturday of each month, Lowe's hosts a building workshop for children, free of charge. I believe it starts at 10 a.m. and lasts one-hour.

Sat Jul 4: Red, White and Q Burque's largest outdoor market did it again.

That's where it'll stay until November, from 7 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and Saturdays--and that includes this Fourth of July. Your all-American cookout demands nothing less. (Laura Marrich)
