| Carnival for CASA
September 12
 There's only one thing better than a day at Paradise Park - a day at Paradise Park during the Carnival for CASA! On September 12 from 11am to 4pm, you can enjoy unlimited access to all the indoor/outdoor attractions you love in addition to face painting, balloon artists, inflatables, entertainment and lunch. Not only do you get more, you get it for less with a discounted admission ticket of $20 per child or adult and $5 for accompanying adults (children under 2 are free).
And all this great value is for a great cause: proceeds benefit Jackson County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Jackson County CASA recruits, trains and supports volunteers to speak for the best interests of our community's abused and neglected children in the family court system.
CASA volunteers make a difference every day by giving their time and skills to help CASA kids find safe, permanent homes. Join us on September 12 to help the cause and have a great time. Tickets are available in advance at http://www.jacksoncountycasa-mo.org/specialevents.html |

 Are you ready for the new school year? Start it off right with after-school snacks that are convenient, portable and wholesome. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 93% of children snack during the day, with afternoon being the most popular time. Whether your child comes home after school or spends time after school with sports or other extra-curricular activities, nutritious snacks can be a healthy way to fuel kids' growing bodies. | |
