Twilight fun at Flat Branch Park

COLUMBIA, MO (August 24, 2007) - Thursdays in September will offer fun
for all ages in downtown Flat Branch Park! From a movie to live music to
a circus to the Commerce Bank Kids Camp, the Columbia Parks and
Recreation Department has teamed up with the Convention and Visitors
Bureau and The District to provide family entertainment during each
Twilight Festival. Flat Branch Park is located at 4th and Cherry. 

September 7—Stream Extravaganza and Commerce Bank Kids Camp (6-8 pm)
followed by movie
It’s an evening of fun, frogs, fishing poles, learning & more for the
whole family! “DeeBee the Conservation Clown” will create aquatic
balloon critters and make flowers magically appear. You’ll find out
more about the 14 streams that run through your city and the wildlife
that depends on those streams. There will be more than 20 fun activities
for all ages. Flat Branch Park is an example of urban renewal and stream
rehabilitation. Come see how this former EPA cleanup site was
transformed to a beautiful park complete with a meandering stream.
