Clinton State Park to host Kids Day

The 10th annual Outdoor Kansas Kids Day at Clinton State Park is scheduled for Saturday.

Kids Day will include free entry to the park, activities for children throughout the day and a free hot dog lunch for the first 200 people.

A fishing derby will be held from 9-11 a.m. at Lake Henry, just south of the park office. Kids can learn about fishing IDs, get casting advice and learn how to bait a hook from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Fishing poles and bait will be provided, and there will be a goodie bag for participants and prizes at the end of the derby.

An animal show-and-tell program is scheduled for 7-8 p.m. at Shelter 6 in campground 3. Experts will talk about snakes and turtles.

All activities are free and open to the public. For more information about Outdoor Kansas Kids, visit the Kansas Wildscape website.
