Get Wet and Wild on Wednesdays in July

Just Four Wednesdays in July to Get Wet and Wild

The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm is hosting Wet and Wild Wednesdays every Wednesday in July from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.  Family entertainment in the gazebo runs from 12:00 -1:00 p.m. and then water fun runs from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. including slip and slides, fire truck spray, creek wading and various activities hosted by the Clinton River Watershed Council.

Two giant slip and slides – one for older kids and a second for younger children – offer a fun way to cool off. Parents and children should enjoy the big fire truck. The Rochester Hills Fire Department will bring out a big yellow or big red ladder truck. A 75-foot ladder will be extended to mist off those needing a cool down from the hot days of July. While the truck can pump out 1,000 gallons per minute, the fire truck will only be using enough water to drop a cool shower of rain.

The Clinton River Watershed Council will be hand to help educate curious river-goers about the water and its role in the environment. Be ready to catch and release some small river critters.

Entertainment this year includes:

• Tom Plunkard on July 6
• Joel Tacey on July 13
• Kevin Devine on July 20
• Guy Louis on July 27
  

  Younger Kids get there own Slip and Slide

Admission is free for Museum members and $3 per person ages 2 and up. The major sponsor for this event is Genisys Credit Union, Hollywood Market, State Farm – Mike Bashore, Crittenton Hospital, and Goldfsh Swim School.

The Rochester Hills Museum is located at 1005 Van Hoosen Road, off Tienken Road between Rochester and Dequindre Roads. No reservations are necessary for this event and water shoes are suggested for wading in Stony Creek.
