Village for Kids successful, despite rain T he tenth annual Village for Kids brought families from across the Mon Valley to Renziehausen Park on August 13 – one day before the official kickoff of McKeesport’s International Village. The Lions Bandshell grounds were filled with free games, activities and food for children of all ages. “Not only is this event a fun, memorable experience each year, but I’m impressed with how strong the community support remains after ten years,” co-chair Alison Piccolino said. “The upbeat atmosphere of the Village for Kids is contagious! It’s evident in every single person and activity throughout the day.” This year’s event was cut short by an afternoon storm, but families enjoyed the time they shared early in the day.
