“It’s been two years since we did it” said Larry Gross, co-founder of Our Own Candle Company. “Everyone is very excited about his return.”
This year, Kids Day has a wide variety of activities for families to enjoy, Gross said. There will be bounce houses, of course, as well as games and crafts.
“There will be some different games and crafts and a few new bounce houses,” he said

As for food, there will be hot dogs, popcorn, root beer, water and snow cones.
But what really makes Kids Day special at Findley Lake is that it’s all free.
“The best thing about Kids Day is to give something to the families. It’s free and fun,” Gross said. “It also showcases our city.”
Although it was the COVID pandemic that made Kids Day impossible for two years, there are no restrictions this year.
“Everything is as normal as normal could be at this point,” Gross said.

Kids Day, which started in 2013, has grown over the years. Our Own Candle Company not only sponsors the event, but also provides the staff. “All OOCC employees will be there,” Gross said.
The only difficulty with Kids Day is parking.
“There’s not much we can do about the problem, but people always find a way,” Gross said. “The OOCC warehouse parking lot will be open.”
Every year people have expressed their gratitude to Terry and Larry Gross, founders of OOCC and the driving force behind Kids Day. The event is held in the main parking lot of the OOCC.
