SOUTHWICK – The Parks and Recreation Commission have planned several special events this summer at the Town Beach.
The first is Kid’s Day at the Beach July 30 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
“We will have ice-cream and watermelon, games and activities,” said Commissioner Susan Grabowski. “And kids get in free.”
Each child will receive a ticket for an ice-cream at the gate.
Commissioners agreed at their meeting last night that in addition to free snacks, they would have a special lunch at the concession stand of a hot dog, chips, and fountain beverage for $2.50 that day.
A second summer event is a town tradition – the Senior Sizzler.
Set for Aug. 4, with a rain date of Aug. 11, the Sizzler is an event for Southwick’s senior citizens.
“We will have watermelon, play cards and Jack and His Guitar will perform,” said Grabowski.
