This program is unique to Livingston in many ways: it is FREE and open to residents and non-residents, their friends and families; no pre-registration is required; children and their families may drop-in any Wednesday all year (with a few date exceptions due to holidays, as noted in the advisory); and sports activities and games vary from week to week to keep things interesting!  Volunteers and parents of the participants report they "feel like they are walking on air when they leave each week, because there is such an outpouring of support and encouragement in this program, with so many familiar faces from Livingston throughout the years."
