Grandparents Day Celebration at Rainbow Park Set for Sept. 14

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, a support group dedicated to helping grandparents who are raising their grandchildren, will host a special event to celebrate Grandparents Day on September 14, 2023. The gathering is scheduled to take place at Rainbow Park from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m..

This celebration aims to recognize the vital role that grandparents play in the lives of their grandchildren, especially those who take on a parental role. The event promises a day filled with activities designed to foster community spirit and support among attendees.

Attendees can expect a variety of engaging activities throughout the day. Planned highlights include interactive games for children, informative workshops for grandparents, and opportunities for socializing. Local organizations are also collaborating with the support group to provide resources and information for families navigating the challenges of raising grandchildren.

In addition to the fun and games, the event will feature guest speakers who will share insights on the unique experiences of grandparents. These speakers will address important topics such as legal issues, health considerations, and emotional support. This segment aims to empower grandparents with knowledge and resources that can help them in their caregiving roles.

Community members are encouraged to attend and show their support for the invaluable contributions of grandparents in family dynamics. The event not only celebrates Grandparents Day but also aims to strengthen the network of support available for families.

Participation is free, and food and refreshments will be available for purchase, making it an accessible event for all families. Organizers hope that this celebration will raise awareness about the challenges faced by grandparents who are primary caregivers and promote a sense of community among those attending.

As the day approaches, those interested in attending are encouraged to spread the word. This initiative not only honors grandparents but also seeks to cultivate a supportive environment for families dealing with similar circumstances.
