Boys & Girls Club celebrates Day for Kids

The Fernley Reporter

For more than a decade, Boys & Girls Clubs across the country and around the world have celebrated the Day with fun indoor and outdoor festivals, walks and picnics.

Saturday, the Fernley unit of the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows joined the celebration with a picnic and barbecue at Fernley Intermediate School.

The day included games, a bounce house, face paintings and other activities for kids and a chance for parents to get information about Club programs.
