Who needs snow? Sick of winter dreariness? Excited to splash about in warm, sun-baked water? Well, here’s your chance to experience some summer fun over the winter holiday.

The Spokane Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring a Holiday Pool Party Dec. 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Shadle Indoor Pool. All ages are invited to participate in games, swimming and music, and all will be supervised by an experienced lifeguard staff.

Children under 18 pay only 50 cents, and all others pay $1.50. Join in the fun and brighten up the cold winter months!
