The fun, free event is open to all kindergarten through eighth-grade students, and will be held Saturday, Nov. 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, 2900 Thurgood Marshall Dr., in Oxnard.
Editor's Note: Go EARLY as there are tons of activities for kids to explore. We go every year and they have to kick us out they have so many things for kids to do and its only 3 hours long. In addition parking is a challenge so be prepared to park and walk to the school. Also don't bring very young children as kids will use some chemicals that you might not want younger children to touch.
A MAP OF THIS YEARS ACTIVITIES
