BRADFORD BEACH FAMILY DAY IDEAL FUN FOR KIDS

Families, children and friends are welcome to attend “Family Day” at Bradford Beach, 2400 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive, on Sunday, September 12th.  Parents are encouraged to bring the kids to the beach so they can have a blast and let their creative juices fly.

Volleyball for children with kids-sized nets and balls will be available all day long.  A sand-sculpting contest will start at noon until 3pm.   Tools will be provided for children and artistic creations will be judged each hour.  Fabulous prizes will be awarded donated by Kiwanis Milwaukee.

The Friends of Bradford Beach are offering passports for children to visit “stations” where they can learn about beach preservation, enter a drawing to win a prize and just have fun.  The drawing will take place at 2:30pm.  Also a treasure hunt will occur from noon to 12:30pm.  Children may take home what they find.

Children 11 and under can enter their artistic renderings into the Kiwanis Club of Milwaukee’s Bradford Beach Family Day Coloring Contest.  Visit the Sandcastle Contest table for crayons and entry forms.
