Saturday was a beautiful day and after a few years of COVID-19 restrictions, the Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center “could finally celebrate 25 years of Glenwood Lakes Area Kids Day,” said Kay Blauert, executive director of the Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center.  The annual event is sponsored by the Welcome Center with support from area businesses.

“We had 230 kids registered and then we had kids that came after the bike drawing or didn’t register so I would say we had at least 250 kids at the event,” Bauert said.   “We also had a lot of parents– both moms and dads–who came with 110 families registered, so there were more than 350 people at the park in addition to vendors, volunteers and grandparents.”  

“Just an  awesome group and a perfect weather day! “

More information on bike winners and photos will be in next week’s issue.
