At the second annual ShamRockin’ Family Fun Day, families can enjoy outdoor games and activities including bubbles, chalk art, rock painting, yoga, balloons, cornhole, badminton, raffles, giveaways and more. The all-ages event is free and open to the public. “We are excited to bring our ShamRockin’ Family Fun Day back to our community again this year,” said Chrissy Swift, health educator at the Rogers County Health Department. “We’re hoping for beautiful weather so everyone can enjoy the outdoors, but we have a backup plan to move our event indoors to the annex (former DHS building) in case of inclement weather.” Free car seat checks and installations will be provided by certified technicians, and a limited number of free car seats will be available. Those interested MUST call to schedule an appointment in advance of the event. For an appointment, call (918) 341-3166.
