Thank you to Biggby Coffee for sponsoring Weekend Planner.This weekend in Champaign-Urbana it’s all about fairs, festivals, our first summer playdate, and outdoor concerts galore! This weekend looks to be a balmy one in Champaign-Urbana, and we have a list of area pools to cool off in, and also swim lessons for your little ones. Staying indoors more your thing? See our post on air conditioned adventures that are family approved.
