Woodruff Family YMCA , Milford,CT Open House a Hit with young and old

As the late Mr. Rogers would have said: "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!" thanks to all the warm hearts and helping hands whose tireless efforts continually make the Milford, CT YMCA the best spot for family fun.

Today, Saturday, March 29, 2008 was the annual Open House at the Y. From 12 until well after 4 pm, families poured in. Activities included face painting (a really big hit thanks to the artistry of Kathy & Ashley) , crafts, camp games, free swim, sample classes such as Yoga for Kids, archery and kick boxing. The YMCA also brought in entertainment such as Curious Critters who delighted children and parents alike with his very ‘hands-on' approach. Kids were able to handle such interesting critters as geckos, boas and (UGH) a hairless but oh-so-friendly rat. There was also a bouncing play set (a shout out to Marie & Theresa who braved the elements to man this machine so the kids could have fun) as well as food, raffles and free gifts.

What makes the Milford YMCA such a special place is that everyone who works here puts their hearts into making it the best place for family fun. It's clean, it's fun and everyone there makes you feel more welcome than Norm at Cheers.

So, if you're tired of watching your children spend endless hours in front of some electronic device or just wondering what you can do as a family that's fun and affordable, be sure to mark April 12^th on your calendar. That's Family Fun Day, where you can enjoy a day -with your whole family- having fun and getting fit. You will have so much fun with your family you'll wonder why you didn't think of the Milford YMCA sooner!
