Plans tomorrow? Rain or Shine—Healthy Kids Day is ON! ☀️🌧️
We’re are so looking forward to welcoming families to Healthy Kids Day this Saturday, April 26 from 11AM–1PM at the Madison Area YMCA’s Family Center! Rain might be in the forecast, but it's no problem—we’ve got a plan! If it rains, we’re moving the fun inside to our full-court gymnasium, so nothing can stop the celebration! 🎉 You'll still enjoy awesome activities like music, dancing, games, STEM fun, face painting, giveaways, and more.
👉 Please note: In the event of rain, the trucks (UPS, Fire, Police, EMT) will not be onsite—but everything else is still on and ready for your family to enjoy!
