HARDYSTON — Hoping-to-be-healthy kids and their parents came out for the Sussex County YMCA’s Annual Healthy Kids Day on Saturday.
The free three-hour program was designed to be a fun-filled event meant to inspire families to stay active physically and mentally over the summer months.
A family swim period was also available to help forget about the now-distancing winter months. There was also an obstacle course, basketball free-throw competition, Healthy U CATCH games, and a children’s musical concert with Raymond Ayers.
