Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation held its annual Kids Day last Friday at Les Gove Park.

The event offered inflatable rides, live stage entertainment, mini golf, hands-on art and food concessions. Back again were bungee trampolines, face painting, an expanded touch-a-truck display and the ballistic swing. New this year were the Kids’ Safety Zone and a percussion petting zoo.
