On Sept. 13, Rockville Centre held its annual Kids Fest at the Recreation Center.
About 700 people from Rockville Centre and the surrounding communities came to the Rec Center for games, rides and more. The Lions Club held its annual Duck Pluck fundraiser, and the Nassau County Police Department landed a helicopter in the parking lot, which is always a fun event for the kids (and kids-at-heart) that come out for the event.
