Fun activities for the kids
To keep the kids occupied while the adults play, Hinkley Helpers, with the support of MEMO, has hired the TumbleBus, a fully padded converted school bus that is filled with gymnastics equipment to provide a safe and fun environment for children ages 2 to 6. The TumbleBus will only be available from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and hosts groups of kids for blocks of time. The Medfield Public Library will also be on hand to lead storytime and host a craft table. Non-alcoholic beverages, the best-hot dogs-in-town from The Hot Dog Wagon, and delicious ice cream from Chub’s Ice Cream will also be at the event in addition to 7th Wave Brewing’s famous pizza.
