It's that time of year once again--the pencils, books and (hopefully) dirty looks will be going on summer break just in time for the School's Out Festival the Kickers will be hosting beginning 4 p.m. June 6 at U of R Stadium. The family-friendly day will feature all sorts of wonderful entertainment for those anxious little ones who've been dying to unleash some of that post-exam energy. Let us be the outlet and save all you parents out there at least one night's worth of keeping up. It's summer; you should relax too! Who knows, we might even tire them out enough to give you a full weekend's recovery (I'm hearing a collective "ha!" from all of you right now, I know).
Whatever the case, we'll have a fun zone, mascots, face painting, a moon bounce and all sorts of other activities and prizes sure to keep them occupied until they're ready to join you to watch the Kickers win their game over Harrisburg City Islanders at 7.
It's not just the kiddies who will benefit, though. While the young ones are off getting their faces covered in a fresh coat of red and white paint, you can enjoy live music, get some great food and relax by watching some of the small-sided soccer games taking place on the field. To all you big kids out there planning on attending, we haven't forgotten about you. Be sure to hop in on one of the games or join the little ones on the largest inflatable obstacle course in the state. If I wasn't busy helping to make sure everything was running smoothly, I assure you I'd be right in there with you!
I bet you're already thinking how great a time this sounds like, but get ready for the kicker: All families arriving at the stadium gate before 6 p.m. will be treated to a $5 group admission pass that is valid for the whole bunch. I can't think of a better way to spend $5. Learning so much during the year is a big accomplishment. Congrats to all you kids--big and small--who have made it through another school year. Come unwind with us and have a blast. School's out!
