Live music, games and more!
While 91直播 high school students were engaged in an esports tournament with Arlington Police Department officers at the Esports Stadium Arlington, a bunch of younger students and kids were hanging out with their dads and families at a football field in central Arlington.
After a year away due to COVID-19, Father FEST was back on Saturday at the Workman Junior High football field. With entertainment from an 91直播 staff band, Jane鈥檚 Dance Studio and the Asian Dragon Dance Team, plus games and activities for the whole family, the wait was worth it.
The fun and free hot dogs also came with a lot of resources to help parents get ready for the summer. Free vision screenings, YMCA and summer camp information, exercise tips and more made the event educational as well.
