Sac State at Pops in the Park
Vinh Ke Ton
Sacramento State
Delicious foods. Warm, almost
blistering weather. Very little
breeze. Yep! It sure is summer!
But that doesn’t stop the people
of Sacramento from enjoying their
days at one of of the four days of
Pops in the Park music festivals!
Pops in the Park headlines each
Saturday of June. There are various vendors and live bands playing, who wouldn’t want to kick
back at their local park?
This week’s festival was held at
East Portal Park near Sacramento
State. The weather was sweatinducing, but smoothies served
by Florin High School Key Club
did work when it came to cooling
down the attendees.
Customers lined the tables
at the Henna and Face Painting
booth operated by Sacramento
State Circle K International.
Many customers left with large
grins as Sac State Circle K body artists transformed them from regular Sacramentans into cuddly pandas and beastly tigers with floral
henna designs wrapped around
their wrists and ankles. Sacramento is the place where “It’s Pops!”
is the only justification ever needed to convince someone to have a
blast and chill with the rest of the
community on a Saturday, and no
scorching summer is ever going to
change that!
Kiwanis One Day:
UC Davis Helps
Out at March of
Dimes
Nhi Tran
UC Davis
The members at UC Davis Circle K
started the morning with a Nutella
sandwich in one hand and the directions for Pena Adobe Park in the
other. For most of us it would be the
first time we would be participat ing
in the March of Dimes, an event that
promotes the education of childcare
to mothers and research the health
threats for babies.
Once we got on-site everyone
started right away with helping set
up. The members dispersed and
started working of different tasks
such as unloading the trucks, working on the balloon arc, helping out
with the food station and helping out
with registration. Members for Division 8 Key Club were present along
with Vaca Valley Kiwanis making the
event all the more fun.
We cheered with the Key Clubbers
throughout the event in celebration of participants who fundraised
above and beyond expectations and
for partic pants who were crossing
the finish line. The Kiwanians grilled
hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone while smiling and joking with us.
After cleaning up, we took a group
picture in front of the balloon arc
that we all had a hand in making. We
cheered and laughed and said our
goodbyes knowing that we had just
made new friends.
With the efforts of the volunteers,
coordinators, and participants I could
see how together we can make a difference.
