Family events in Doña Ana County, NM

Celebrate the sixth annual Halloween-themed Stroller Strides and Stroller Treating with FIT4MOM Las Cruces. The event features a festive Stroller Strides workout, followed by a stroller treating playgroup. Children are encouraged to wear costumes, and caregivers can dress up too. Add extra flair by decorating your stroller for the costume contest. Registration is required for the Stroller Strides class through the FIT4MOM app, and first-time participants can take their first class for free. For the stroller treating portion, please bring three dozen simple, non-candy, individually packaged items such as small toys, play dough, stickers, crayons, or snack packs like Goldfish or fruit snacks. Bring two baskets, one for collecting and one for distributing. Items will be placed in baskets in front of strollers, and children will move around the circle with their own baskets to gather treats from each stroller. The stroller treating playgroup is a free community activity and does not require being a FIT4MOM client.
