River Rec: Kids’ paradise GALLIPOLIS — Events for children are always a key element and big draw for the Gallipolis River Recreation Festival, and this year will be no different, according to organizers of the 45th annual festival planned for July 1-4 at Gallipolis City Park. Lorie Neal, IOM, executive director of the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce, said River Rec organizers have made it a priority to provide a wide range of activities for children during the festival. Neal said children can register to win prizes at the Kids Day tent, which will be located next to the doughboy monument on the First Ave. side of the city park. Some of the prizes that will be given away this year include bicycles, water guns and radio-controlled toy ATVs. The 2010 festival kicks off on a
positive note on Thursday, July 1 with discounts offered on all amusement rides beginning at 5 p.m. The midway will be open from noon-5 p.m. and 6-11 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Amusement operators will take a mandatory break from 5-6 p.m. daily with all rides shut down during that time. Neal said wristbands, which are good for admission to rides, will be available on Friday, July 2 and Saturday, July 3. The price is $12. No wristbands will be available on Sunday, July 4. Wristbands must be purchased for each separate session that the rides are in operation. A full day of events is planned for Saturday, July 3, which has been designated Kids Day at River Rec. See the schedule on Page 3 for details.
