Everything Wheels Parade - Kids' Day 2009
South Berwick Eliot Rotary Kids’ Day is just around the corner, set for this Saturday, June 5. The festival will kick off with the Everything Wheels Parade at 11 am, beginning at the South Berwick Community Center and ending at Central School. Kids of all ages are invited to ride bicycles, strollers, wagons and toy cars.
With many new activities added this year, festivities have extended out to the left, right, and back sides of Central School. The First Parish Federated Church is joining Kids’ Day and will be offering numerous activities and live music. The popular “Touch a Truck” will be behind P. Gagnon & Son. Many Main Street businesses will offer their own Kids’ Day activities and goodies in front of their storefronts. Early Bird Cafe, Pricepoint Eyewear, and Nature’s Way Market will all participate.
