This Friday the Webb House in Jefferson officially opens for the school year with a special event.

The 10th Annual Water Day includes a new fire hydrant water sprinkler, along with a 15-foot water slide, smaller pools, super soakers, slip-n-slides, water balloons, and there will be musical entertainment. Preschool age kids are from 10am-noon and 1-3:30pm. Those in kindergarten through 5th grade will be from 4-5:30pm and 6th-8th graders may come from 6-9pm. 

Webb House Founder Jim North is happy to continue this tradition for Greene County youth.

“I’ve been looking at my phone for the weather for the last two weeks, concentrating on August 5th, and it’s been clear and hot. But we’re expecting a good crowd for this (is) our 10th year we’ve been doing this and we hope the kids will come out for the 10th year like I said. It’s a big thing for us and we’ve been planning for a long time.”

All activities are free and no registration is necessary.
