Kids...Get Out And Play With Nickelodeon in Hopewell Today!

Per several sources, but especially Petersburg Peoples News, the Worldwide Day of Play thought up by Nickelodeon comes to the Tri-Cities today.

The PPN says, "Petersburg students are invited to join other kids from the Tri-Cities to celebrate Nickelodeon’s “Let’s Just Play” campaign. The first event is “Worldwide Day of Play,” 12-4pm this Saturday, Sept. 29 at Hopewell High School [map]. The Day of Play will feature challenge zones; chaos challenges; health and wellness vendors, cooking demonstrations, health and wellness screenings, a basketball tournament, prizes and inflatables. The events are meant to help counter childhood obesity and encourage activity."

The really cool thing about this is that Nickelodeon is putting it's money where it's mouth is. The kids station is going off the air for a couple of hours at noon today. You can read more about that here.

Let's get our kids out to play and have some fun! See you there.
