Rotary Day draws hundreds during sunny weather
By Allie Dean
adean@dawsonnews.com
The weather couldn’t
have been more perfect
on Saturday for Rotary
Day at Rock Creek Park.
Hundreds of children
flocked to Rotary Island
to celebrate the sunny
skies at the splash pad.
Free hotdogs, cookies,
snow cones and popcorn
were big hits and a line
formed at the dunk tank,
where each kid got three
balls to throw at the tar
get in an attempt to
knock unfortunate partic
ipants into the water tank
below. Rotarian Ken
Goines was a particular
favorite, and was
plunged into the water
again and again by kids
with throwing arms like
the pros, he said.
A petting zoo and live
music rounded out the
fun, all sponsored by the
Rotary Club of Dawson
County.
The club installed the
splash pad at the park
and hosts Rotary Day
each year as a way to
give back to the commu
nity.
Rotary Club President
Pepper Pettit said that
there were over 400 peo
ple in attendance on
Saturday.
“We ran out of pop
corn and snow cones,” he
said. “And we still had
people coming in after
we had packed up to go.”
Pettit said that many of
the people who attended
had been to Rotary Day
before and were excited
to be returning. The free
food and free splash pad
were the main draw.
“It’s a big deal for a
small place like Dawson
County to have some
thing like Rotary Island
that’s free,” Pettit said.
Around 37 Rotarians
and their spouses were
present on the day to set
up the live music, tents
and concessions and
make sure the day went
without a hitch.
“I think Rotary Days is
really cool,” Pettit said.
“I think the Dawson
County Rotary Club has
a lot to be proud of.”
