DANA TO HOST KIDS ON THE HILL, OCT. 16

Family favorite lets kids experience college life

Dana College will once again host Kids on the Hill Day, Oct. 16 on its campus in Blair, Neb.

Kids on the Hill will be slightly different than in previous years. All children ages 8 through 12 are invited to attend this fun mixture of athletic and academic offerings. Kids don't have to be connected to Dana to attend, but they should come dressed for fun.

The event exposes children to many aspects of college life.

For just $3, kids can come up to campus to play games, do hands-on experiments, eat lunch, see the Viking football team in action and participate in the annual Frisbee throw at halftime of the Dana vs. University of Sioux Falls game. Sessions include fun with science, math and computer art, as well as physical education fun and a preview of “Seussical: The Musical.”

Kids also have the option of attending a men's or women's soccer game or volleyball competition for a separate entrance fee. They can also catch the Dana College Theater's production of "Seussical: The Musical" at 7:30 p.m. in the Laurtizen Theatre in the Madsen Fine Arts Center for $5 per person.

Registration runs from 10–10:30 a.m. in front of the Gardner-Hawks Center. Kids on the Hill Day — and Dana supervision — officially ends at 1 p.m. For more information on Kids on the Hill, call (402) 426-7216.
