To celebrate the coming summer on Saturday, May 30, many children and their families gathered at Ackerman Park for Elkton Lions Kids Day. The festivities proved substantial, ranging from equipment tours by emergency responders to face painting by Joell. Meanwhile, Parks & Rec served around 400 hot dogs. Elkton Lions handed out about 200 kites. Bay Shore Camp set up inflatables and the rock-climbing wall, having staff ready to supervise kids on their adventures. Elkton Lions oversaw the foam party, releasing constant joy. Thanks to Bay Shore Camp for providing the foam party equipment.
