WKYU-PBS Kids' Pool Party
Set For Aug. 1
July 22, 2004
Bowling Green, Ky. - T
he first day of school is just around the corner, and that means it's time for the fourth annual WKYU-PBS Kids' Pool Party. Bring the youngsters to the Russell Sims Aquatic Park for this "Sunny Day Celebration" on National Kids Day, Sunday, Aug. 1, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The first 500 children age 6 and under will receive special gifts, plus there will be door prizes and lots of watery fun. Also on hand will be one of WKYU-PBS's favorite fun characters: Clifford, The Big Red Dog.
National Kids Day has been celebrated on the first Sunday in August since 2001. The day is set aside to encourage and remind adults to spend meaningful time with kids; to express love and appreciation for kids, not just this day, but all year long. Research shows that when adults spend meaningful time with children, it helps them develop a positive self-image and a sense of belonging, usefulness and purpose.
The WKYU-PBS Kids' Pool Party offers an opportunity to celebrate kids, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandkids and other special children in our lives. Coupons for $1 off regular Aquatic Center admission prices for the day are available at Boys & Girls Club of Bowling Green and Toys "R" Us locations.
