WCPR TO HOST KITE FESTIVAL

Williamson County Parks and Recreation (WCPR) is excited to once again partner with Chicago Kite Company to host our Second Annual Kite Festival. Due to the overwhelming popularity of last year’s event we will be holding the festival for 2 days this year on Saturday, October 9, 2021 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, October 10, 2021 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Franklin Recreation Complex, 1120 Hillsboro Rd.

Chicago Kite Company has been serving the kite enthusiast for over 28 years. They have everything for kite flyers from beginners to seasoned professionals. Visit their kite booth to purchase single, dual and quad kites, windsocks, garden spinners and flags. Come out and see the skies filled with giant kites that look like swimming sea creatures or enjoy watching the professionals perform stunt kite demonstrations with kites of all shapes and sizes. Families are encouraged to purchase or bring their own kites to fly in the Family Flying Zone. Kids will enjoy a craft booth and other special activities just for them, including photo ops with Mary Poppins, Bert and other favorite princesses and super heroes provided by Dreams Do Come True.

Concessions from on-site food trucks will be available for purchase. Saturday’s food truck line-up includes: Hoss Burgers, Chivanada Columbian Empanadas & Street Eats and Blue Monkey Shaved Ice. Sunday’s food truck line-up includes: Yayo’s Original Mexican Gourmet, Pasta Galifi and Blue Monkey Shaved Ice.  Overflow parking will be available at Cheek Park behind Franklin High School with a shuttle service available or people can choose to take the walking trail over to the Recreation Complex. Mark your calendars so you won’t miss this FREE family friendly event.

THIRD ANNUAL BARK N’ SPLASH BASH RETURNS IN OCTOBER

The Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department (WCPR) will partner with the Williamson County Animal Center to host the Third Annual Bark ‘n Splash Bash on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at the Longview Recreation Center at Spring Hill, 2909 Commonwealth Dr., from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Due to popular demand, this “paw-some” event returns, after a year-long hiatus, for all dogs to have a chance to paddle and play while raising money for the animal center.

Evan Hampton, Aquatics Superintendent for WCPR said his staff is excited to host the event. “We know people love their dogs and the Bark ‘n Splash Bash gives them a chance to enjoy playing with their dogs in a fun aquatic environment.” During the special event, the pool area will be open only to pre-registered adult handlers (18+) and their dogs. Spectators are welcome to observe from the “Bowwow Boosters” section (free).
