Sesame Street, Shrek, Snowshoeing, & Stooges This Week

Really, it’s impressive that I’m pulling this post out at all. We spent much of the afternoon and evening skiing, I sampled some delightful home-brewed home cider, and frankly? I’m pretty much ready to be sleeping. So I’ll ask in advance for you to forgive typos or missed items. And always don’t forget to check out the pages to your right, like What About TODAY?, which includes regularly scheduled events, and the Embrace Winter! page, which has links to skating, sledding, and other winter fun.

Here’s what I’ve got:

All Week:

• It’s Sesame Street Live presents 1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo and Friends at the Glens Falls Civic Center on Tuesday and Wednesday, where tickets cost $14 to $52 and are required for ages 1 and up. Then it moves on to Albany’s Palace Theatre over the weekend, where tickets range from $15 to $67.
