Ed Horning was our speaker. Ed is a cooperative extension agent for Penn State. He works mainly in Bellefonte. In conjunction in a way with his CE duties and working with 4H groups, Ed became aware of the National Kids Day movement.

NKD is an organization of similarly focussed groups through the country. The group encourages child/adult interaction. This year NKD is August 1 (Sunday). All the events are free and will occur on July 31 and August 1 in Millheim, Snowshoe, State College, and Bellfonte.

Every day can bea kids day if adults will take the time to get together with kids.

If you haev questions on how you cna make the event a success, call Penn State Cooperative Extension of Centre County at 814-355-4897. Http://www.kidsday.net is the Web site for national information.
