Parks and Rec Day

Every year many families turn out for Parks and Rec Day at the Osage Community Centre. Though rain curtailed a few activities, Thursday's event was filled with fun and games.

Lots of animals -- including snakes, ponies and trained dogs -- entertained the children, and KFVS12 personality Jason Lindsey provided information about science. Pilots and others involved with this weekend's Cape Girardeau Regional Air Festival came by to talk about flying and sign autographs.

The day offered free food, an inflatable water slide, Laser Tag and exercise tips. Almost everything required movement. The video games were all at home.

The event was sponsored by the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department and Southeast Missourian Jr.
