The cold front did not freeze the excitement out of the kids as they began the day with a parade led by the Rockwall Fire Department, Rockwall High School Drum Line and Rockwall High School Stingerettes.

Throughout the day the kids walked to music provided by DJ Frank Tyminski, learned taekwondo skills from White Tiger Martial Arts, played disc golf provided by Life Disc Sports and competed against each other on the obstacle course bounce house provided by the YMCA.
