In Wayne County, Olympic Flame Burns Early

An upcoming event gives children ages 5 and younger a chance to win medals in games patterned after some of those in the official Olympic Games.

The Nursery School Olympics begins at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 4, at Elizabeth Park, located on West Jefferson, south of West Road in Trenton. The event is free.

Some of the events include: marshmallow shot-put, miniature golf, diaper derby, paper plate discus, toddler trot, and big wheel grand prix (children must bring their own wheels). At the end of the games, parents and their children will march in the red, white and blue parade. Each child will receive a participation medal.

Wayne County Parks and Trenton Parks and Recreation co-sponsor the Nursery School Olympics.

For more information on the event or any other Wayne County Parks event, please call (734) 261-1990 or visit www.parks.waynecounty.com.
