Fun and games planned at Civic Center

With spring break scheduled for March 27-31, kids in the Warren County School System are ready to go, go, go with enthusiasm.

?I can?t wait,? said West Elementary student David Goode. ?Spring break is almost here.?

This level of enthusiasm might leave some parents wondering what they can do to keep their children occupied all week.

With this in mind, McMinnville Parks and Recreation is gearing up for another safe, fun-filled week of activities called Wide World of Sports Week beginning on Monday.

?This week is going to be so much fun for the kids,? said recreational programmer Jennifer Barnes. ?We?re working really hard to give them constructive, organized things to do.?

This year?s week-long activities will have something for everyone including a home run derby, wiffle ball, quarterback challenge, dodgeball extreme and many more games.

Prizes will include day passes to McMinnville Civic Center and Gilley Pool, free skate passes, and Dairy Queen coupons.

?Everybody is a winner,? said Barnes. ?I?ve been working really hard to make sure every child will have fun this week.?

Age divisions will include ages 8-10, 11-13, and 14-16.

Activities scheduled for the week:

? Monday ? home run derby at noon and wiffle ball game at 2 p.m.

? Tuesday ? quarterback challenge at noon and kick, punt and throw contest at 2 p.m.

? Wednesday ? hot shot contest at noon and 3-point contest at 2 p.m.

? Thursday ? dodgeball at noon and 2 p.m.

? Friday ? track and field day at 2 p.m.

Regular admission of $1 or $2 per day will be charged, which includes participation in all scheduled events.
