Here is a highlight of the FREE and low cost activities you can do this weekend in the metro Detroit area and beyond:




Friday is the last day to enter to Win a Trip to Avalanche Bay Indoor Water Park on OaklandCountyMoms.com. Who could not use a totally FREE 2 Night Stay Trip for four to Avalanche Bay at Boyne Mountain??  I'll take it :)


Friday is the last day to enter the Kobo My Favorite Teacher Contest. All you have to do to try to win a Kobo for you and a Kobo for your fav teacher is tell in 250 words or less what makes your favorite teacher so cool.  What could be easier?


On Friday, a number of movies will have their opening day in Detroit including  the animated movie "Rio" (review link goes live at midnight) and Sex and City star Kim Cattrall in "Meet Monica Velour" (review link goes live at midnight). But which ones are really worth your hard earned money? Make sure you read movie reviews by our guest movie critique Liz Parker before you get your tickets.


Friday is also the last day to enter to win the Concert DVD "Introducing Johnny Reid".  This Canadian is making his American debut.  So if you like Country and Soul singing, be sure to enter before Friday at noon.



This Friday and every Friday until Easter, get 25% off your food bill at Coach Insignia or No.VI Chophouse restaurants.



Take the kids this weekend to the FREE Butterfly House Exhibit at Oakland Mall in Troy, MI. Experience the wonder of Oakland Mall's interactive butterfly house, display and craft activities. This exhibit is located on the lower level near JCPenney.



Saturday is the FREE Teacher Appreciation Day at The Henry Ford with FREE Admission to all venues - which includes The Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, The Ford Factory Tour and the IMAX Theater.  And teachers get to bring a friend along on this AWESOME all free day.


Staples says they can make things easy and what is easier than a FREE Ream of HP Paper with this COUPON (free after online rebate).  That was easy.



Make sure you tune in to HGTV on Saturday night to watch the official reveal of the HGTV "Green" House.  This is one very fashionable home built in the Frank Lloyd Wright prairie style, with an open floor plan that is modern and eco-friendly.  The contest officially started on April 14th, so go NOW and enter to win this house plus a new 2011 GMC Terrain and $100,000!  HOLLA!


Sunday is FREE Admission to the Detroit Historical Museum. In addition to FREE admission, there will be docent-led tours of the signature exhibit the Streets of Old Detroit from Noon - 3 p.m.

DON'T FORGET!  
MONDAY IS TAX DAY & FREE DAY

You have until Monday at noon to enter to win  1 of 3 $25 Gift Certificates to Loco's Tex-Mex Grille in Greektown.  The food and service at this restaurant are fabulous so make sure you enter now before it's too late.


Also on Monday at noon, your chance to win a month's supply of Scott Naturals Products comes to an end.  Being GREEN has never been this good with a month of FREE paper towel, FREE napkins, FREE bathroom tissue, and FREE flushable wipes.  And if you don't win this time, don't worry, I will be doing the same giveaway each Monday for the next 3 weeks so stay tuned...


Also Monday is the last day to enter to win a $2000 shopping spree at Art Van Furniture.  Who could not use $2000 in FREE furniture?  If like me, your sofa needs replacing, be sure to enter.


Go to Chili's on Monday, April 18th (Tax Day) and get a FREE appetizer or Dessert when you purchase one or more entrees.


And finally, in celebration of Tax Day, make sure you stop by your local Cinnabon shop to get your 2 FREE Cinnabon Bites between 6-8pm. Also make sure you Enter to Win a $100 Gift Card which will make your Tax Day a real pleasure.
