WHAT IS MARBLE DAYS?
Traditionally, Marble Day has been on the first weekend day of May. In Europe, children had long ago celebrated by playing marbles, because it was the first day of spring that the ground was dry enough to get down on their knees. Marble Days is just a one day event, but is jam-packed with different super events and extra-ordinary activities for children and adults who want to be a kid again. It’s not just marbles—it’s connecting with things from the past. Dress in your old tyme best and join us for our annual celebration.
Bonner Springs Parks and Recreation
This year a large portion of the funds raised from the "Running of the Pinky's" will be donated to the Bonner Springs Parks and Recreation Scholarship Fund. The City of Bonner Springs believes that recreation programs are a significant part of the quality of life for our citizens as well as the development of children. We believe that investing in children is an investment in the future of Bonner Springs and believe that every child should have the opportunity to participate in recreation programs, therefore we are making opportunities available for children to participate in education and youth classified programs at a reduced rate or no charge. Below you can view the scholorship program criteria, as well as an application.
