SuperKids event set for Saturday

Boys and girls ages 3-17 are invited to attend a SuperKids Hawaii event, Saturday at Panaewa Park.

The SuperKids will participate in events such as the 20-and 4o-yard dashes, shuttle runs, push-ups, potato sack races, and obstacle courses.

The first 100 participants will receive a free SuperKids T-shirt. All will receive free drinks, fruits and healthy snacks.
