City Source: Free kids' concert Sunday; Safety in school zones

City Source A weekly newsletter detailing current city happenings... Aug. 6, 2008   Free kids' concert Sunday   Let the kids hop 'til they drop.   Bring your family, especially those kids who dig dancing, to Sunday's weekly free concert.   Funky Mama will perform from 7-7:30 p.m. at Santa Fe Commons Park, 81st and Santa Fe Drive.   She will be followed by Jim Cosgrove and the Hiccups, who will perform from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.   Funky Mama describes herself as a "rockin' mom" who writes and performs for kids and families.   Jim Cosgrove is also known as Mr. Stinky Feet. He specializes in entertaining children and families.   The weekend forecast is calling for more moderate temperatures.   Bring a lawn chair for mom and dad, a blanket for the kids, and a camera to catch your budding dancing star enjoying a great time with other kids. Safety in school zones   In less than two weeks, schools will reopen, and you can help ensure your child's safety.   New traffic laws require that children up to 4 years old be secured in a federally approved child safety seat; children 4 to 8 years old be secured in a booster seat if they are less than 4 feet, 9 inches tall or weigh less than 80 pounds; children 9 to 17 years old must wear a seatbelt when riding in a car, whether it is in the front or back seat.   Back-to-school safety is paramount for police officers, who will be patrolling school zones in Overland Park to make certain the safety of children is a priority.   Home City Services Finances Neighborhoods New Residents News Parks & Recreation Vision Metcalf Projects/Construction Police & Fire Things to do Traffic/Transportation   Sign up for other newsletters City Source is available through an RSS feed Questions or comments?
