Kid's Page: Get the kids out of the house! Father Time
For a number of years, News 4U’s Kid’s Page has been penned by
a mom. The roster of maternal contributors has included young women new to the
rigors of parenthood, seasoned pros whose skills and achievements would make
June Cleaver embarrassed and a person who’d never so much as held a doll, let
alone a child.
This is my boy. I do what HE wants.
Now, however, it’s time for a dad to step up and do this.
One of the results of the ongoing sexual revolution is that I, a grown man with
a toddler boy, can comfortably change a diaper as easily as my forefathers
could change a flat tire (I can do that, too). And so now, rather than wax on
about feminist pioneers being careful what they wish for, let’s offer some
stuff to do this month:
Hillcrest Golf Course – 270-687-8717

Dog Day at the Park – Man’s
(and woman’s, and kids’) best friends are the stars of the day at LegionPark
on June 20. Starting at 1 p.m. with the running of the Pup Parade, the events
also offers friendly, tail-wagging competition such as “Best Trick,” “Best
Dressed,” and “Owner/Dog Look-A-Like” contests. Pity please for pug, Boston terrier and
Shih-Tzu owners, should they win. Just bring a small bag of dog food for your
admission.
MorelandPark – 270-685-8480
When you think “The Longest
Day,” you might think of the classic movie about D-Day that takes almost an
entire day to watch. But on June 18, the day is set for the totally free State
Farm Longest Day of Play, a family event filled with more than enough stuff to
do to ensure the kids will have a quiet, long night’s sleep. Among the many
activities scheduled are corn hole games, basketball contests, a bouncy house
for the kids, races, tennis, dancing,
live entertainment and so much more. Come out to play, make some new friends,
and don’t forget the sunscreen…

of the month prior to the month of your shindig to editor@news-4u.com.
