WALKER, Mich. (June 11, 2014) — Wouldn’t it be nice if every kid could buy their deserving dad a brand new Corvette? Instead of focusing on how much to spend, Michaels Stores can help your little on come up with a wonderful gift made from their tiny little hands at very little cost.
Kendra Page, Customer Experience Manager with the Alpine Avenuelocation, joined me in the FOX17 studio with three very affordable ideas. For a complete list of other ideas, click here. All summer long, Michaels will have classesthat cost only $2 for 2 hours.
Every half hour, from 10 a.m. until Noon this Saturday, June 14, for just $2 per child, while you shop, kids can get creative in the Kids Clubclasses. This week, they will be making a Father’s Day Wood Frame, similar to the first one you see in the photo. That cost covers supplies needed, as well.
