Ronald McDonald is hosting a free children’s party Saturday at the Chattanooga Zoo to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the local Ronald McDonald House.
From 2 to 4 p.m., children (who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian) may tour the zoo’s exhibits, ride the Warner Park carousel, visit the petting zoo and enjoy a magic show.
Free cupcakes and Mayfield ice cream will be served while supplies last, according to Chinyere Ubamadu, Ronald McDonald House Charities spokeswoman.
Beth Painter, anniversary chairwoman, said the party is to celebrate ways in which families have benefited from all resources of Ronald McDonald House Charities over 20 years. In addition to lodging in the house on Central Avenue, these include the Family Room in T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital, the Caremobile, RMHC grants and college scholarship awards.
