KidsFest

An annual event in Jefferson City is Kidsfest. It is always held on the second Saturday in June. It is a event at the Washington Park Ice Arena, sponsered by the local television station, KRCG. The entire day is aimed at kids. There was a petting zoo, a bounce house, face painting, dance and martial arts demonstrations, as well as games, a fire truck and ice cream. And all for free. It is a big event for the families that have children. This picture is of one of the exhibtors, the MOST accounts to save for your child's college. I will have more pictures the next few days of the fun.

More Challenger Baseball

Here is another picture from the Challenger baseball game I attended. It was a great game. I think kids need to play sports more for fun anyways and not always to win, so it was great to see a league with emphasis on just that.

Challenger Baseball

Our parks and recreation has started a league called Challenger Baseball. It is a baseball league for children with special needs. It was great to watch them play, because the emphasis was enjoyment and not winning. Everyone gets to bat, everyone plays in the outfield. There are helpers who help each child do the best he or she can do. Here is the fact sheet on the league.
