8th Annual Family Day at Sylvester Turner Park To Be Held April 11

Efamily member Sylvester Turner presents...


The 8th Annual Family Day at Sylvester Turner Park will be bigger and better than ever.
Sponsored by State Representative Sylvester Turner, Family Day will be held Saturday, April 11, from 2 to 7 p.m. at Sylvester Turner Park, 2800 West Little York. Admission is free.
As always, plenty of delicious free food will be served, including turkey legs, sausage on a stick, corn on the cob, nachos, popcorn, snow cones and drinks.
Entertainment will be provided on three stages. J. Paul and the Zydeco Nubreeds again bring their foot-stomping music. Schools get into the act with the Eisenhower High School Jazz Band, the Aldine Dance Company and the M.C. Williams Middle School Orchestra. Mariachi bands from the Houston Independent School District and Rice University proved popular in their first appearance last year, so they are returning to Family Day again. There will be a step dance group, the Swat Steppers with a Testimony. And for the first time, Family Day will feature the Lion and Dragon Dance Group from Linh Son Pagoda. Whatever kind of music you like, we have you covered.
For the young, we will have inflatable games and face painting. And the young at heart will find activities at our senior tent.
It wouldn’t be Family Day without baseball, with play on three fields. Baseball fun can also be had at the Houston Astros’ Wanna Play games.
METRO is again generously donating buses that will pick up attendees at parking lots away from the park and bring them to Family Day. The buses will run from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees can park for free and catch the buses at:
· Carver High School, 2100 South Victory
· Lone Star College, Victory Center, 4141 Victory and
· Living Word Fellowship Church, 7350 T.C. Jester
Attendees will be required to pass through security check points this year. They are asked not to bring backpacks or large bags, large containers, grills, alcohol, motorcycles or animals, except service animals.
We will see you on Saturday and thanks for all you do........
