'Project LEAP!' Provides Break From Winter
posted 02/12/2007
For the second year in a row, the timing of the Green Bay Packers' annual 'Project LEAP!' couldn't have been better.
Much like in 2006, last Saturday's 'Project LEAP!' (Lambeau's Exercise and Activity Playground) came in the midst of the winter's toughest cold snap, giving area kids and their families an active alternative to staying at home.
Whether it was bouncing around on the football-related inflatables, racing their friends and siblings through the obstacle courses, or braving the rock climbing wall, thousands of area kids got some exercise and physical activity in the Lambeau Field Atrium free of charge.
"It was great to give everyone a chance to get out of the house during this bitter cold," said Cathy Dworak, the Packers' manager of community relations. "The total attendance neared 6,000, so we know a lot of people took advantage of the opportunity to be here at the Atrium. Many parents told me this was just the thing they needed...something fun for the kids and a chance for them to blow off some steam."
The fourth annual 'Project LEAP!' also included face-painting stations and four tumbling performances by The Chicago Boyz Acrobats. The team performed on the Atrium floor and taught tumbling techniques between performances throughout the day.
'Project LEAP!' is one of four free community events the Packers host each year, each geared toward bringing families together. |
