Parks and Rec hosts Family Game Night

The Siloam Springs Parks and Recreation department is hosting its annual Family Game Night on Friday, Jan, 10.

This free event will be held at 6 p.m. at the American Legion Community Building located at 110 North Mount Olive. Games will vary, however, recreation coordinator Ashley Davis confirmed Candyland, Yahtzee and Phase 10 would be available.

Along with table top games, there will also be life-sized games people can play, Davis said. These games, commonly referred to as yard games, will include Jenga and Connect Four. Davis also said there will not be anything new this year, however, she did say the games are rotated every year so people don't get bored.

There is no age limit and no restrictions on teams playing, Davis said. There will be bingo for people to play and prizes will be available, she said.

"We just hope you come out and have fun. It's a free event put on by your city. What better way to spend a cold Friday night?" Davis said.
