HUTCHINSON, Kan. — FAMFEST is coming up this Saturday evening at the Hutchinson YMCA from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. It's a night of family fun where costumes will be the star of the show.
"We'll be closing an hour early that day to get everything prepared," said David Foster with the YMCA. "The Y will close at 4 p.m. this Saturday instead of 5 p.m., but we're looking forward to a great event. We are combining this with our Saturday Night at the Y. That would be free and open to any middle schooler, 6th, 7th and 8th grader in Hutch and Reno County, plus YMCA families."
FAMFEST is held monthly at rotating branch locations.
"In addition to having the pool available for swimming, we're going to have Zorb ball, if you have seen people get in those big like hamster wheels and race each other, we'll have one of those. Human foosball, soccer darts, which is really fun, arts and crafts, we'll have a selfie station, all kinds of fun stuff in addition to some of the things we offer at the Y. I think we'll be doing some water volleyball in the family pool. Just a great event for our members and their families and those kids and their families that would normally come to Saturday Night at the Y."
There is another group they hope will come on Saturday.
"We have sent out some, what we call golden tickets to any non-members that are program participants at the Y," Foster said. "It is open to those families, as well. If they received a golden ticket, they just bring that to the Y and they can come and be a part of FAMFEST as well."
If you have more questions, give the Y a call at (620) 662-1203.
