Plans finalized for back-to-school pool party

Led by Gilley Frog, children and lifeguards dance it up at last year?s back-to-school party. This year?s bash is scheduled for Aug. 26 beginning at 10 a.m.
McMinnville Parks and Recreation has finalized its plans for a back-to-school pool party at Gilley Pool. The party will be fun in the sun and a great way for families to spend the day, according to recreation programmer Jen Barnes.

?We have numerous activities planned throughout the day,? said Barnes. ?It promises to be a fun-filled day.?

Some activities will include beach volleyball, putt putt golf, a magic show, a lifeguard talent showcase, a hidden talent contest, a freeze dance competition, a wet T-shirt relay contest, a scavenger hunt and much more. All contests will include prizes.

In addition to games and prizes, there will be a DJ playing music all day to get the party going and keep it going.

?We have had a great summer and would like to celebrate with you,? said Barnes. ?I hope you can join us.?

The party will be Aug. 26. Admission is the price of regular admission. The pool party will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Actual pool hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
