Kick-Off To Summer Party

June 6, 2009

On Saturday, June 6 beginning at 5:00 pm, and following the Kids Fishing Derby, KCP&R will partner with the Kenton County Public Library to present a special Kick-Off To Summer Party!

This year's entertainment guests are the Southern Ohio Flying K-9's (that's Frisbee® Dogs) presented by Dominach's Taekwondo Academy, Mr. Cowpie's Party Animals (wacky music and friendly rescued animals), and Barefoot (Appalachian stories and songs)! Additional entertainment will include a demonstration of martial arts by Mike Dominach of Dominach's Taekwondo Academy and a 9-hole mini golf challenge!

The library will use the event to help promote this year's summer reading program, "Spark Your Imagination at the Library", in which adults, teens, and children are invited to participate. Sign up and earn great prizes just for reading books this summer!

Entertainment and parking for the Party are free! Northern Kentucky Youth Association will be cookin' up the good summer party stuff (hotdogs and hamburgers!) and operating a picnic concession starting at 5:00 pm so come hungry! You will be able to purchase your family's supper right at the park and help out a great cause ~ NKYA's sports programs.

It all happens at Middleton-Mills Park, located at 3415 Mills Rd., Covington, KY 41015. Directions are easy! From I-275, take Exit 79 (Covington-Taylor Mill) and go seven miles south on KY Hwy. 16 to Mills Road. Turn left on Mills and go about one mile to the park. The party will be at Shelterhouse 2 ~ just follow the signs!

It's BYOLC ~ Bring Your Own Lawn Chair! A play area, sand volleyball court (beach, or world's largest sandbox, depending on the age of those inside!), horseshoes courts, hiking trails, and a fishing pond are all nearby so you can play or do some exploring, too! It's the Kick-Off To Summer Party!  See you there!
