This fun event for the whole
family will be conducted for the eighth time on Sunday, August 29,
2010, a week before
Labor Day weekend, beginning at 1:30 pm.
Each child will get a wristband for
$3, entitling her or him to enjoy all the games, “rides,” crafts, and other fun
organized by the Boys & Girls Club of Tipton County for the afternoon. They will
also receive a coupon toward the cost of food and beverages provided by the
Lions Club of Tipton, or ice cream from the Mustard Seed. Free to everyone of
any age is the entertainment by Tipton County singers and dancers all afternoon
at the Gazebo.
Each wristband is
numbered, matching a duck in the Duck Derby at 4 pm, where lucky ducks
will be drawn from the pond and prizes will be awarded to youngsters with the
matching duck numbers.
Families may wish to bring lawn chairs or blankets for relaxation during the
afternoon. * Families will want to
purchase their wristbands before 3:15 pm, in order to be able to enjoy all
the fun. At 3:45 pm, activities will begin to shut down in the main part of
the Park, and everyone will be urged to move to the north entrance where the
Duck Pond will be located. Thank YOU! for Bringing Your Family to Ducky Day!

In
particular, thank you to the young entertainers, and the student athletes,
student councils, and club members from the two high schools and middle schools
who help run so many of the activities.
This summer-ending celebration for youngsters at
family-friendly prices is always well-attended and well-supported by volunteer
efforts. Thank you to all of them! |
