Summer vacation is just around the corner. Keep kids engaged and away from the tele- vision or tablet at one of downtown’s many kid-friendly hot spots. Here are some ideas to get kids out of the house and bust the boredom blues.

The Billings Public 1 Library is a fun place to let a child’s imagi- nation grow. Kids love getting their very own library card and checking out books to take home. Even better, the library offers a lot of activities for kids of all ages: story times, fin- ger-puppet plays, and singa- longs for the younger kids. Older kids can take advantage of the vast amount of Legos available to build until their heart’s content. For more information, go to billingslibrary.org or call Gazette Staff (406) 657-8258.

Strawberry Festival is a 4 longstanding community event that welcomes the summer season under Skypoint from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 8. There are food trucks, coffee vendors and strawberry every- thing.

Billings loves a good restaurant. Downtown has plenty of options for every kind of foodie. With the increase of food allergies and desire for natural options, businesses are becoming aware of the health-con- scious community. The movement is more than a fad, it is a call for awareness that healthy eating isn’t just trendy – it’s necessary.
