Ditch the Cooped-Up Blues with Fresh Start’s First Spring Rubber Chicken Fling
If you’re feeling cooped up, Fresh Start (FreshStartHome.org) has the cure for you with their First Annual Picnic and Spring (Chicken) Fling event on Sunday, May 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. in Antelope Park, at 23rd to 33rd and Sheridan Boulevard. Set your alarm clucks for a Fresh Start “peck-nec” and join them for a rubber chicken toss tournament, terrible chicken joke contest, and other fun lawn games. This event will raise funds to support Fresh Start’s mission to empower women who are experiencing homelessness and help them change their lives. The event includes appetizers prepared by Relish Catering featuring locally grown produce from Robinette Farms. Don’t forget to have cash on hand to participate in other family-fun activities!
