School is out, and the summer break has officially begun for students.
While many families are searching for activities to occupy young minds, Montgomery County and Winona City officials are developing “Kids Day,” a day of fun for area children.
Officials have yet to complete the plans for the day, but according to Montgomery County Supervisor Ronald White, July 9 has been set aside as a full day of fun – perhaps for the whole family.
During their regular meeting on Tuesday, Montgomery County Supervisors, along with other county officials present at the meeting, agreed to help fund “Kids Day.”
