Just Between Friends begins March 4.
Sesame Street Live takes over the BOK the last week in March.
Mark your calendars, grab your phones, it's time to save the date for some upcoming events.
February is typically a ho-hum month when it comes to goings on in Tulsa, but one of my all-time favorites takes place Feb. 25. It's the Holland Hall Book Fair, the annual literary extravaganza for word nerds.
I've been going to the Holland Hall Book Fair since I was a little girl, when my grandmother would give my sister and me each $5 to go wild with at the book fair. For me, it's a can't-miss event. Last year I picked up more than a dozen books for less than $20. It's a great bargain for families or anyone wishing to stock a personal library.
Look for rare books, children's books, videos and DVD's, puzzles and games at the fair.
Holland Hall Book FairWhen: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 25
Where: Holland Hall, 5666 E. 81st St.
Cost: $1 per adult. Free admission for children.
If you have children, you've likely heard of Just Between Friends. Maybe you've heard people talk about the good deals they've found at "JBF." Well, this is it: Just Between Friends is the hugely popular children’s and maternity consignment event.
Now in its 15th year, JBF offers clothes, bedding, furniture and toys all at a deep discount. JBF organizers say this spring-summer sale will offer "everything needed to raise a child." That's just about right.
