Lafayette Consolidated Government says that the Kids to Parks event scheduled for Sunday has been postponed.
The postponing of the event is due to severe weather in the area Sunday morning. LCG says that organizers hope to reschedule with better weather to show off the area parks.
The day of outdoor play was part of Kids to Parks Day organized by the National Park Trust.
The event which was scheduled for Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., invited Lafayette families and friends to Beaver Park for a day of activity and entertainment.

The Lafayette event was scheduled to include a showcase of recreation and cultural activities such as tennis, bocce ball, dance, field day activities, BBQ, snowballs, live music and more.
