Special Kids Day is an amazing FREE family event put on by the Lions Club (District 4-C5 Lions) for children with special needs. It takes place once a year on the grounds of Ride to Walk in Lincoln, located at 1630 HWY 193. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Community groups such as Boy Scouts and Leo Club along with caring & experienced Lions help by volunteering their services in this safe, family-friendly outdoor location, to set up craft booths and carnival games, and play with/guide/mentor the kids. Through these interactions, volunteers help the kids build and grow so they feel great about being accepted for who they are. This event is FREE for children (ages 0-99) and families of those with emotional, developmental, and physical disabilities. There are no expectations, lots of helping hands, and something for everyone to participate in. Food and drinks are provided and there is no cost to participate. The outdoor event will include music, entertainment, special rides, service personnel and animal demonstrations, and a variety of activities for all ages. Two moms shared about their experience taking their kids to last year's event. "I'm beyond grateful for wonderful, caring organizations like the Lions Club for hosting such an amazing event for kids with special needs." "Everyone was so great with my twin boys. We were able to spend three hours there without tantrums and I could eat without issues with them!"
