The free family-friendly event will feature activities, games and entertainment. “For decades, the city hosted the Hazelwood Harvestfest in September,” said Pam Reynolds, assistant director of Hazelwood Parks and Recreation. “While we maintain some of the most popular activities from the Harvestfest, Hazelwood Day is a much dif-

It will open with the Annual Random Draw Partner Horseshoe Tournament and then continue with activities including a balloon artist, children’s story time, a Lego combo bouncer and climber, a mini car show, free bingo and even a “Bubble Bus” to run through and play in.
