5 Things To Know Today: June 24 (School's Out)

Lots of things for the kids; a mystery lunch at the Senior Center; and today in history: You thought this year's Stanley Cup finals ran late.

Keep Them Reading: Mohr Library has started its "One World, Many Stories" summer reading program. It's a great way to keep the kids' minds busy — forget the Wii or the XBox!

Keep Them Moving: Johnston Parks and Recreation offers three great programs over the summer. Click on the links for more details and contact information.

Keep Them Harvesting: This is a great idea for a summer project — why not teach the kids how to make jelly? Start with fresh strawberries from Dame Farm, right here in Johnston. A set of bell jars, some boiling on the stove, and bingo — the taste of summer all the way to Christmas.

For The Seniors: The senior center hosts a Mystery Lunch Outing today beginning at 11 a.m. They're referring to the destination being a mystery — not the food (we hope). Advance tickets are $5.

Almost Football Season: That must have been the thoughts of the hockey players who were still on the ice until this date in 1995, when the New Jersey Devils completed a sweep of the Detroit Red Wings, 4-0.
