Children ages 2 through 10 are invited to join the fun and games. Highlights include a fishing game, reading corner, basketball shoot and bucket ball toss, face painting, arts and crafts, and many other games. Children will earn a prize at every activity. Additionally, children will have the opportunity to meet the SMU Cardinal Mascot “Big Red.”

A $1 donation is requested for a set of 10 tickets, and each game requires one ticket. All proceeds will be donated to Ready Set School, a group that helps ensure that all Winona County children have the basic and necessary supplies and clothing for school. Every year more than 1,800 Winona County children lack these necessities, and Ready Set School is a community partnership dedicated to helping Winona County children get the basic necessities to succeed in school.
