Pacific Days, Free Fun
July 13, 14, 15, 2012
Pacific Partnerships is proud to once again
present its Pacific Days - the annual event that always includes lots of family fun - held in the City's beautiful
Pacific City Park.
Fun Stuff to Do
Throughout
the weekend, Pacific Days provides both kids and adults all sorts of fun
activities like the ever-popular kids’ games with, of course, the kids’
prize store where everything in the store was FREE.
There is also
a car bash for adults and
supervised kids,
the big, free inflatable
slides and other fun stuff. As always, there will be lots of raffle items of all sorts. Lots of fun
and
surprises. Then there was also food and arts and crafts vendors who make the whole event worthwhile!
Kids Parade
The Kids Parade is where all kids were encouraged to bring their decorated bikes, trikes, or wagons or just themselves in costume to the
staging area, the Pacific Algona Community Center parking lot, 100 B
- 3rd Ave SE, at
6:00 pm. All participants have to wear a helmet, however, if a helmet is not
available, one will be provided, free of charge, while supplies lasted. The
parade starts at 6:15
pm and all participants travel from the Community Center parking lot, down 3rd Ave to the
Pacific City Park where the best decorated (original, creative, etc.) entry receives an
ice cream cake from Dairy Queen as the grand prize. There will also be ice cream
cones and Dairy Queen coupons for everyone.
City of Pacific Youth Ambassador
Program
Pacific Partnerships’ new City of Pacific Youth Ambassador Program is
designed to help a young man or woman entering grades 7-9 be a better leader as
well as a responsible individual.
The first ever City of Pacific
Youth Ambassador will be announced at Pacific Days on Friday, July 13 after
the Kids Parade at
approximately 7 pm on stage at Pacific City Park.
Each applicant must submit an
essay describing their accomplishments, goals, etc., along with the reason
for applying. The selected candidate
will commit to a year-long
community service project of their own choosing that benefits the local
community.
This
year’s winning candidate will receive a $200 Savings Bond from the Pacific
Partnerships.

Ambassador application for more information. If you have further

804-0367.
Pacific Days Grand Parade
With lawn chairs lined up along 3rd
Ave from Frontage to Pacific City Park, everyone will be read to watch the
Pacific Days 2012 Parade on Saturday, July 14. The Parade starts at 10 am and
is always a
huge success. Be sure to check out the Pacific Days 2011 Parade pics.
Music and Entertainment
There is always live onstage music and entertainment both
Saturday
and Sunday
including
Sunday's nondenominational morning
worship service by Pacific Community Church.
Pacific Days behind the scenes...
Pacific Days is geared to raise public awareness of not
only Pacific Partnerships and the programs and events we support but raise
public awareness of other community businesses and nonprofit organizations
and the services they provide the community, sometimes free of charge.
Pacific Days also strives to improve the health of the community, especially children,
with the Kids’ Parade, carnival games, and the huge inflatables that are always free for all children from very young to teenage
years.
