Westfield Culver City family fun days
The month of September is all about kids exploring the colourful leaves and enjoying the first weeks of school.
Kids are invited, with their parents or caretakers, to create a craft, have a snack and learn more about the theme of the month through read-aloud story time and retail activations.
On Sept. 4, kids (ages 2-5) will read about a mouse that goes to school in the book “If You Take a Mouse to School” by Laura Numeroff. The kids will go on an adventure with the modern classic “Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale” by Mo Willems.
To get in the spirit of Knuffle Bunny, kids will make their very own sock puppet.
On Sept. 11, kids (ages 6 and up) will create their very own scrapbook where they will be able to include photos from their summer break, the school year, or the entire year. Kids are encouraged to bring photos with them or create placeholders for their photos.

Gas price record
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County set a Labor Day record today of $4.173, erasing the previous record of $3.958 set last year.
Analysts attribute the record to the Aug. 6 fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond, which reduced its refining capacity and supplies.
