There's something to be said about the simple joys of childhood. Relay races are one of those memories that cannot be forgotten. Remember that one road rally where you ended up in the local cemetery, the three-legged-race where you carried your partner across the finish line, or the wheel barrel race where you smashed your partner's face into the dirt?

Today children in grades 4-8 can participate in the Ann Arbor District Library Ridiculous Relay.

Can you hula-hoop? Do you rock at DDR? Kids race from station to station as fast as they can to see who wins. Prizes will be awarded.

Location: AADL Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room Time: 2:00-3:00 PM Cost: Free

The weather man is calling for rain, so it could be a good day to hang out at the library for a fun afternoon adventure. Maybe even win a prize for your efforts!
