Little Kids, Big World: Veterans Day

Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to the free interactive learning series "Little Kids, Big World" at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck.

Nov. 8 and 12, Veterans Day, 10 a.m. Veterans Day is a time to honor all the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Assemble a patriotic paper chain and decorate it with stars, stripes, or thank-you messages for our veterans.

Nov. 22 and 26, Thanksgiving, 10 a.m. Many people celebrate Thanksgiving with a big meal. Decorate your own placements for the dinner table.
