  #IMOMSOHARD

  The Vic Theater - Nov. 12

     "Being a mom can be tough, which is why the #IMOMSOHARD duo is excited to give even more moms an opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable night out with friends. It's a raucous blast and a well-deserved night for moms who are craving that 'recently released from prison' - type of evening. #IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web-series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin and Jen, sparking an online community of 2 million followers. The videos have received nearly 300 million views worldwide in just 5 years. The phenomenon created by Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley has since been nabbed for development by Warner Brothers TV. The comedians have sold-out two national tours, written a New York Times Best Selling autobiographical book and children's book with Harper Collins, began hosting a top comedy podcast, landed branded deals with Fortune 100 companies, and taped a standup comedy special for Amazon Prime Video, launching the network's first standup comedy platform. Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley are based in Los Angeles and can often be found selling pizza slices for the PTA or working as parking enforcement at school drop off." (less) ... Read more

  Junior Ranger

  Junior Ranger

  Junior Ranger programs engage young people in age-appropriate activities that allow them to discover the significance of a specific site, introduce them to the national park system and to the mission of the National Park Service. They reveal to children that these amazing places belong to them. Junior Ranger programs are designed to provide participants with the flexibility to discover and interact with the park at their own pace and within the limits of their visit. They encourage children and their families to explore things they might otherwise have missed, to get out and walk around, to explore further by visiting specialized programs, park movies, exhibits, trails overlooks, talking to a ranger, and others. When you get to the park visitor center ask a park ranger or volunteer for a junior ranger booklet if you are between the ages of 6-12 and you can fill it out and earn a badge! (less) ... Read more
