Entertaining the kids during festival will keep them happy and it will also keep parents from worrying about what they will do during the weekend. The Family Reunion Festival offers plenty of activities for young tribal members to test their skills and bring out their creative side. The games and activities will allow children to interact with other tribal peers while embracing their heritage and learning new things.
This year, kids can expect art and crafts activities each day throughout the weekend. Friday will feature a chess, billiards, checkers and coloring tournament for the youth. The swimming pool on Tribal grounds will open on Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m. Friday night will feature a live dance contest at 7p.m. Saturday will be the day to lace up the basketball shoes and loosen up the throwing arm. At 9:30 a.m. kids can participate in a 3 on 3 basketball tournaments and at 11 a.m. youth can enter into the Softball throwing contest. Each of the basketball and softball contests will have different age groups.
