Kids, get your sunscreen, swim suit ready for Saturday

Splash Bash fun from 2010. (provided photo)

You could call it a one-day reprise of summer.

Even though students went back to school in Manatee County on Monday, they have the opportunity to recapture a little bit of free summer fun Saturday, Aug. 27, with the back-to-school Splash Bash.

Children of all ages and their parents are  invited to the event 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Lakewood Ranch branch of the YMCA, 5100 Lakewood Ranch Blvd., just north of Lakewood Ranch High School.

Activities include  over-sized water slides, games in the outdoor pool, a dunk tank, a slip-and slide inflatable, snow cones, and a water balloon sling shot.
