[MR] Event fees for WOW

[Ealasaid MacDonald]

I am another one who usually does not chime in.  His Grace, Duke Logan is welcome anytime to come home and visit.

 

I always take the price into consideration when going to events.  This is very important to me as I am a single parent with two children and because of this, I usually try to attend events closer to home.  That said, I am planning on attending WOW.

 

No matter the cost of an event, all around it is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment and is educational for child (adults too).  It's alot better than having the kids sitting in front of the TV or computer.
