BUNKER HILL – Smoky Hills Public Television is gearing up for the 5th annual Family Fun Day in Hays on Sept. 24, featuring The Cat in the Hat. This free family event will again be held at Big Creek Crossing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

During the event, children will be able to take a picture with The Cat in the Hat, learn about some of the creatures provided by the Sternberg Museum and sing and dance with Jammin’ Randy. Each child also will receive a gift bag.

The Hays Lions Club will return this year to continue their mission of providing vision screenings, especially for children. The Lions Club also works to educate the public about the importance of early detection of vision issues.

“We are pleased to bring Family Fun Day to Hays for a fifth year and to be able to partner with great organizations to provide education and entertainment for the kids,” said Tricia Flax, event coordinator.
