Want to come to Rock-n-Royal but have little ones? Let us help! This year, we are partnering with Kiddywampus to provide childcare from 6:00-7:30 pm at Kiddywampus in Hopkins. Sign up your children ages 4-9 for an evening of activities and fun of their own! Cost: $10 per child. Register early, pre-registration is required, and space is limited!
