Instructions for Participating:
1. Children must be accompanied by an adult at each of the Game Stop Locations and at the Wrap-Up Celebration Night.
2. Take the Game Board with you when you visit the participating businesses, where you will receive a Game Piece for your Game Board, and many of the stores have extra fun for you, too!
3. Bring your Game Board to the Wrap-Up Celebration on Friday, August 15, from 5:30-8:30 at Body Zone Sports & Wellness Complex, 3103 Paper Mill Road, Wyomissing.

4. If you complete your Game Board, you will also receive a special goody bag at the Wrap-Up Celebration Night (limited to the first 50 kids).
5. Participation in the Kidding Around Town Summer Adventure is free, however, we encourage you to see what these businesses have to offer, in addition to the fun they are offering as part of this adventure.
