Visit the Carnegie for Family Fun Day

Don’t leave town on Saturday, September 10…there’s just too much fun to be had right here. With activities scheduled all day long, Sept. 10 has been declared “Family Fun Day” in New Hampton.The day starts with a Fly-In Breakfast from 7-11 am sponsored by the New Hampton Airport Foundation. There will be planes and helicopters as well as some classic cars on site for public viewing. For more information, contact Foundation member, Dan at 641-330-6405.Then you can get your colors on (literally!) with the annual 5K Color Run/Walk sponsored by the New Hampton Parks & Recreation Department. This will be held from 9- about 11 am at the North Industrial Park. To register, or for more information, contact Tara at N.H. Park Rec., 641-394-5464.  This year the money earned will be going toward the Tribe trail project (expansion of recreational trail).Next is a relaxing, definitely fun and free afternoon at the Carnegie Games. Slated from noon to 5 p.m. at the Cultural Center, individuals or entire families are invited to get together and play old fashioned board and yard games. If you’d like, you can challenge another individual or family to take you on and the Carnegie will even convey challenge to your chosen opponent. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, contact CCC rep., Jill, at 641-394-2354.What better way is there to end a day of family fun than with a parade.  If you haven’t made one before, you can’t imagine just how much fun the Davis Rally night-light Parade of Bikes can be! Just find your spot on Main Street at dusk (7:00 pm) and get ready to be entertained!  For more information, contact Davis Rally Committee member, Melanie, at 319-464-4498.Family Fun Day is uniquely “New Hampton.” You won’t find this combination of events anywhere else in the state of Iowa.
