3. Catch ‘em all one last time

The Pokemon Go fever is fading away, but if you never had a chance of partying with Pokemon trainers this might be your last opportunity. The game that became a sensation this summer is finally saying goodbye to its popularity. Throughout the month of August the Collier County Museums hosted Pokemon Go Parties on its different locations. Saturday will be your last chance to attend one of these at the Immokalee Pioneer Museum, 1215 Roberts Ave., Immokalee. The parties are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and are the perfect place to take the kids so they can have some fun while still learning about their community’s history. The parties include other Pokemon themed activities and a scavenger hunt. Colliermuseums.com
