Starting at noon, activities will open at Diekroeger Park, including many attractions for children and families.
New this year are two “mad science” activities being hosted at the park. A mad science fire and ice show will be presented from noon to 12:45, and mad science slime making will be available from 1-2 p.m., where kids will be allowed to make and take home their own slime.
