A dream by two Putnam County business owners has turned into a fun event for children.
And the dream will continue Saturday as Second Saturday kicks off outside Scoops, 13 South Indiana St., Greencastle from 6 pm to 8 pm.
“Second Saturday is a the dream of Andy and Susan Lorimer, owners of Big Bounce Fun House Rentals and members of Greencastle Presbyterian Church. Andy and Susan came to us several years ago now with the desire to do something for families that was free and fun for kids. This was right after First Fridays got going, and they wanted to make sure there was a kid-friendly version of that,” said Wes Kendall, pastor at Greencastle Presbyterian Church.
While Susan passed away from cancer last year, her husband and daughter want to see the tradition continue, according to Kendall.
Second Saturdays runs from May through September the second Saturday of the month. The event includes a bounce house or other activity for kids starting at 6 pm with a main entertainer beginning around 6:45 pm.
“We can't emphasize this enough. This event is entirely free to families. Andy and Susan were dedicated to ensuring that from the beginning, and through their generosity and business, they've made that possible,” Kendall said.
May’s event features magician and comedian Daniel Lusk.
“Daniel's show is perfect for kids, and he has grown into a nationally-recognized entertainer. We are very lucky to have him in Greencastle for the night, and as a friend of the Lorimer family, he wanted to make sure to be first up for this 2024 season,” Kendall said.
