N-CAP is pleased to announce that “Niska-Day 32 Celebrates Vegas Style!” will be the theme that brings our annual community day to the grounds of Craig Elementary School on Saturday, May 18th.  Keep an eye open because “ELVIS WILL BE IN THE HOUSE.”  Entertainment will be Vegas style with impersonators, jugglers, acrobats and more.  Our face cutouts will feature “Elvis” and the famous “Wedding Chapel.”

  

The day will begin with a family fun run starting at Van Antwerp School, followed by our ever popular parade kicking off at 10:00 AM from St. Kateri Tekakwitha (formerly St. Helen's), reaching the Niskayuna High School parking lot around 11:30 AM.  At Craig Elementary School, there will be craft vendors, an information tent featuring local not-for-profit organizations, games for children, bounces and rides, a day long food court and a gigantic fireworks display.  Local businesses will again be present to promote their products and services.  Other favorites returning will be karaoke, clowns, photo magnets and caricatures.  Musical entertainment for the day is still being developed, but rest assured, it will appeal to all.  Many other ideas are being considered that will enhance the day and promote the theme and, as always, we invite suggestions.  We can always use an extra set of hands to bring this day to our community. 

Circle the date now so you know where you will be as a little Vegas comes to our Town!  The dedicated members of the Niska-Day committee are already at work behind the scenes making sure the day will not disappoint party goers of all ages. 

The web site will be continually updated as plans for the day come together.  For general information contact us at info@niskaday.org.
