“We are flying in some amazing entertainment for the week,’ said Johnston. “Jagee Melton who is a singer performer from Texas, will get us pumped up with her music as we kick off every morning. Clayton Poland, from Louisiana, will entertain us with comedy, story-telling, science experiments and illusions,’ she added.

“The kids will have a blast with our themed days we have laid out,” explains Johnston.

“Arts & Science day will include messy activities and experiments. Splash day includes a huge inflatable slip n slide and water slide from ‘All Four Fun Inflatables’ as well as water relay games. Sports Day is all about being active through playing Human Hungry Hippos, Epic Ball and more. Our Community Project day will help put perspective into kids’ lives that they have it pretty easy compared to other kids in our community and around the globe. The kids will be packing food boxes for Children’s Hunger Fund as well as engaging in a fun filled interactive game show. We will celebrate our final day with a mini carnival! Games, prizes, candy, bounce houses, the Traveling World of Reptiles, and cotton candy.”
