Koulee Kids Fest this Saturday

Koulee Kids Fest will take place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and one lucky child will win an iPad Mini and a pair of Beats headphones.

Children of any age participating in Koulee Kids Fest will pick up a “passport,” then take it to area businesses where they will pick up kits, a treat, or take part in an activity that follows social distance guidelines.

Each location will stamp their passport, and six stamps qualify a child to win the iPad Mini and Beats headphones grand prize by dropping their passport off at the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce before 4 p.m.

A map of activities on page six of this issue is included in the passport.

Passports are available for pickup from Coulee Hardware, Coulee Wall Variety Store, Loepp Furniture, and the GCDA Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber Executive Director Rachelle Haven said that she’s heard remarks from a few people that they are excited there will be something for kids to do.

Haven will draw the grand prize winner on Monday, June 22 and contact the winner to let them know.

The grand prize iPad Mini and Beats headphones were paid for with $600 in sponsorship funds from the Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union, Silver Creek Systems, the Coulee Pioneer Museum, CJ’s Storage, and Coulee Rentals.

“I am very grateful to them to be able to provide such a great prize for the kids!” Haven said.
