Free 500 Festival Kid’s Day

Posted on by

A FREE DAY OF PLAY!

The Salesforce & JPMorgan Chase 500 Festival Kids’ Day is Indiana’s largest free outdoor festival just for kids! On the second Saturday of May, kids take over Monument Circle for a Month of May celebration that’s sized for them. With interactive, educational displays in a carnival-like atmosphere, Kids’ Day gives children the opportunity to stretch their minds and their muscles.

At Kids’ Day you can: participate in drumming workshops, learn Bollywood-style dancing, paint your very own masterpiece, race mini cars, conquer the 500 Festival’s obstacle course, make sashes with the 500 Festival Princesses, and so much more! Kids can also enjoy entertainment at the Salesforce & JPMorgan Chase 500 Festival Kids’ Day Stage, presented by McDonald’s. From The Boom Squad drum line to Ballet Folklorico Mosaicos, there are performances for all interests.

Ready to get moving? Make sure you register your mini runner for the Salesforce & JPMorgan Chase 500 Festival Rookie Run, which takes place during Kids’ Day. This non-competitive race allows children ages 3 – 10 the fun opportunity to get active. Run distances are based by children’s age. All participants will receive a goodie bag, a bib with the number 1, and a finisher’s medal. Learn more

Toxic Waste Drop Sites – Indianapolis

Posted on by

Image result for toxic waste drop off

As you begin the Spring process of assessing gardening supplies and begin outdoor home maintenance, you may note that many products are now beyond their expiration date.  Substances used for these purposes contain toxic chemicals.  If you are in need of a free way to dispose of these substances, please note the information below.  I used the services on the northwest side of Indianapolis earlier in April.  I found the drop-off site well-manned, the folks knowledgeable, and the whole process very stream-lined.
