From City of Lubbock:
On October 6, 2012,
Nickelodeon will host their 9th Annual Worldwide Day of Play, a
whole day dedicated to living a healthy and active lifestyle. It is designed to encourage kids and their
parents to turn off the television set and play, especially outdoors! Each year, Nick goes "dark" on their stations from 11:00 am to
2:00 pm Central Daylight Time (12-3 pm EDT/PDT), and then scroll events
and encouragement across the screen telling kids and parents to get
out and play!
For the first time in
Lubbock, the City of Lubbock
and Parks and Recreation will be hosting a number of family-friendly events as
part of the Worldwide Day of Play.
By attending one of
these great events, kids and parents will have fun together and get the message
that play is important!
