Longest Day of Play offers free fun for Breckinridge County families

Breckinridge County families are invited to come out to the Breckinridge Community Pool this Thursday for the Longest Day of Play.

Breckinridge County Coalition for Change Fiscal Agent Andrea Sheroan says the event is inspired by June 21 traditionally having the most hours of sunlight.

“We took this as a public health initiative to invite people to use the sunlight to play all day and be active, and just kind of feed mind, body, soul,” Sheroan says.

Children and parents will get to swim for free, and the event will feature inflatables, disc golf, crafts, and other activities.

“The library’s out there,” Sheroan says. “We have other community resources that are available, not just for the kiddos, but for family members. Our family resource coordinators in the county of all of our schools play a major role in planning and executing this event. It’s just really a wonderful thing to bring kiddos out and get some exercise.”

The Longest Day of Play runs Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“There’s no cost and there’s no registration, and it’s a free event for all who reside in Breckinridge County,” Sheroan says.

A flyer for the event can be found on the Breckinridge County Health Department Facebook page.
