Area youth had one last chance to say farewell to summer recently. The City of Ricketts put on a special day just for kids, Saturday, September 8, 2007. Twelve adult volunteers treated kids to fun food, games and music at the Ricketts city park and shelter house from 4 to 10 PM. Kids could buy hotdogs or nachos for a dollar and pop for 50 cents and ten tickets for a dollar. Then they could use tickets to play games like darts and ring toss for older kids or pin the tail on the donkey or bean bag toss for younger tots. Every game offered prizes. Kids could participate in a free throw contest, a water baloon race or a three-legged race. Teens and "Tweens" were invited to stick around and dance the night away inside the shelter house.
