The Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department held its annual Mommy-Son Adventure May 1. The event was at the Pete Thorn Center Gymnasium for 74 registered participants. This year's “Farm Adventure” theme was enjoyed by boys ages 3 to 10 and their moms, aunts or grandmothers. Activities included a drawing for a John Deere toy tractor donated by Greenmark Equipment, live animals from the Potawatomi Park Zoo and live animals from the FFA students from Warsaw Community High School, farm animal-related crafts, a Pig Pen game, healthy snacks, a flower planting station, a photo station, and soil and farm crop sensory station. Warsaw Police Dept. officer Justin Tug Curtis surprised the parks department event when he brought his 1953 John Deere 40-S classic farm tractor to Lucerne Park for the little boys to climb on and enjoy. Next year’s Mommy-Son Adventure is planned for May 6 for $15 per couple. The theme is “Root for the Home Team.”
