This year's Absolutely Incredible Kid Day made an absolutely incredible impact on Amarillo kids, according to Melanie Craven, office manager of the Panhandle Plains Council of Camp Fire. Scores of children and adults turned out at Westgate Mall on March 15 to take part in the day's festivities, she said, which included origami paper creations for kids. We probably had about 100 kids coming and going, doing arts and crafts, and about that many adults writing letters. Sponsored by Camp Fire Boys and Girls, Absolutely Incredible Kid Day is a celebration of the country's youth.
Adults write letters of love, support and encouragement to the children in their lives.
The March 15th celebration marked the event's fifth anniversary across the nation, and its third anniversary with the Panhandle Plains council, according to Camp Fire information. For adults who missed the big day, it's not too late to let that special kid know you care. Letterhead specially designed for the occasion still is available at the Camp Fire office at 2808 Canyon Drive, Craven said.
