It is the 48th year for the two-day event, which started in 1968. Volunteers staff the activities and there is no cost to the children or families who attend. The event is for special needs children who may not otherwise be able to participate in field trips or unique educational activities due to limitations through school. But the founders – Coleta and the late Nick Corey – wanted to create a day just for those children to feel like they can do things like everyone else.

A game where children could lasso steer heads attached to bales of hay was one of the activities children could enjoy. A bean bag toss and snow cone stand were also featured.
