RESOURCES FOR BIGS
There are many free and low-cost activities for Bigs and Littles in and around Beaver County. Please bookmark this page to sign up for various options and to find ideas!
TFK is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for children in the areas of culture, recreation and education. TFK emails updated event information to our agency so that we can request tickets to those events. Events from those emails will be made available to you to attend with your Little. Information is emailed. Not all events are published due to the increased request for tickets, so if you know of an upcoming event (example: Disney on Ice) and it is not published, tickets may still be able to be requested. Tickets can be requested by contacting Bev Evans at bevans@bcbigs.org or 724.843.4600 ext. 32.
