This family friendly event will be held Saturday, June 13th from 11:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in Roland Park. This great community activity includes free Bingo with great prizes, fun activities for the kids, door prizes, as well as delicious food and the ever popular “Adriano” singing the oldies. There will be a candy scatter at 1:00 p.m., pony rides starting at 12:00 noon and the Swartz Petting Zoo from 12:00 noon until 2:00 p.m. Also, a bounce house and kiddie train rides will be available all day.
