Tonganoxie Recreation Commission is combining two of its annual events this year to create the inaugural Tongie Split Fireworks Show.
The event will be 7-9 p.m. Sept. 20 at the TRC ball fields at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds.
Here’s a rundown of what will be taking place:
• Live music spun by a DJ.
• Rubber Duck Challenge — play this matching game to win yourself a glowing prize to light up the night!
• 9-Hole miniature golf course — grab a ball, grab a club and grab your friends for a quick round of miniature golf.
• Collaborative Chalk Board — leave your mark on the community chalk board with a doodle, signature or a quick game of tic-tac-toe.
• Banana splits — supplies for these cold treats are sponsored by the Tonganoxie Community Historical Society and Brother’s Market.
• DIY blowing sensory bottles — create a sensory bottle to take home.
• REKINECTION fire performers will light up the night with various flow performances.
• Airbrush tattoos — free tattoos will be offered.
Anyone attending the event is encouraged to bring folding chairs or inflatable couches to be comfortable during the fire performances and fireworks display.
