K.C. Chiefs Training Camp Daily Updates

The 16th annual Kids’ Day was a hit this morning, attracting over 200 kids for some Kansas City Chiefs fun! There were 250 kids and their families present this morning. It was a little chilly for them right off the bat, but it warmed up by about 9:30 a.m.

One of the activities featured during Kids’ Day was the duck pond, which UW-River Falls Sports Information Director Jim Thies was in charge of. Kids were delighted when they picked up the duck with the winning numbers and received McDonalds gift cards or candy from an energetic and fun Thies.

One of the most popular attractions at Kids’ Day today was the face painting and temporary tattoo tables. Kids left today with designs on their faces including everything from footballs to Chiefs’ logos. Helping with the tattoos was Chiefs summer intern Kat Krtnick. Krtnick said that she really enjoyed being with all the kids today and thought it was fun giving them their tattoos. She also mentioned that this year was a huge turnout with a lot of really great kids.

On arrival, a Blow-Pop and a raffle ticket were handed out to each child. The raffle was held at 10:15 a.m. The prizes were a mini helmet, a felt poster of a Chiefs helmet and a Chiefs T-shirt.
The winners were:
Mini Helmet: Gabbie Lien, 7, from Clayton, Wis.
Felt Poster: Cassandra Rude, 4, from River Falls
T-shirt: Kyler Castano, 8, from New Richmond, Wis.
