Lawmakers invite children of military families to participate in Military Kids Day

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) — The annual Military Kids Day at the Kentucky state Capitol is coming back again this year for military families and their children.

The event is scheduled for Feb. 27 and will be hosted in the House of Representatives.

Children are invited to take a Capitol tour, serve as a page for their respective legislators, participate in a Capitol scavenger hunt and attend committee meetings related to military issues.

“Military Kids Day keeps growing every year as more and more people learn about the opportunity to provide these great children with the attention they deserve,” said Sen. Jimmy Higdon (R-Lebanon). “I owe a great debt of gratitude to the awesome staff we have at the Legislative Research Commission, my colleagues in the legislature, and everyone within the armed forces organization and the media who work hard to raise awareness and, most importantly, make this day special. I am eager to welcome military kids and their parents to the Kentucky state Capitol.”

To participate, you can complete a form online at legislature.ky.gov.
