Kid's Discover is a favorite for many By JOB VIGIL The North Platte Telegraph There are not many events that are more exciting than the annual Kid's Discover. Each year the Telegraph, along with the North Platte New Car and Truck Dealers Association, sponsor this event at the North Platte Community College South Camps that is meant to introduce kids to life around them. The event includes fun activities as well as educational opportunities. The wide-eyed look of astonishment as kids see a helicopter up close for the first time is what this event is all about. Great Plains Regional Medical Center will have their brightly-colored helicopter there once again. There will be a number of new activities including a new slide from the popular
Fun Jumpz. The Golden Spike is sending out its mascot, Spike the Engineer, to entertain the kids and to be available for photos. Also new this year will be the addition of Dora, the Charter Communications character and Thompson Distributing will have a Slushie Machine set up for some yummy treats. Many of the familiar booths and events are returning again this year with Gary's Super Foods setting up their grocery store, the clown balloons, the National Weather Service booth, TeamMates, the Children's Museum the Kool-Aid Man and many, many more fun things to experience. There will be the popular obstacle course and the Operation Lifesaver from the Union Pacific Railroad. There will be airbrush tattoos (Mom, they are not permanent), the paintball booth and of
course the emergency services including the North Platte Police Department and Fire department will be there with some interesting equipment as well. One of the best-attended activities is the Kids College sponsored by Mid-Plains Community College. They have some interesting scientific displays set up that are not only educational, but very entertaining as well. All in all, this is something kids just don't want to miss. For tickets - tickets are FREE - stop into one of the dealerships and they will gladly provide you with as many tickets as you need.
