Kidz Night is a Krazy Kool Time – Thurs 8/14 @ 5:30 PM

Kidz Night is on the Londonderry Town Common on Thursday Aug 14 from 5:30-8:30 PM. There will be bounce houses galore! Come for the clowns, food, games and activities. Climb into a fire engine! Get a wonderful back-to-school pencil from the Londonderry police officers. (The blog queen does this every year because she needs lots of pencils to write with!)

This fantastic event is designed for families with kids aged 10 and under.

Last year two thousand people (most of them kids) attended Kidz Night on Thursday at the Common.

Will and Sean were dazzled by the newly crowned Miss Londonderry, Elysha Greenberg. A friend asked, “Were you born Miss Londonderry?”Miss Londonderry with 2 Boys
