Kids

With onset of COVID-19 in the area last year, many events that normally would attend either weren't available or they were modified. High school sports were impacted not only for the coaches and player but also for the fans.

If the kids have been antsy and wanting to do something outdoors, this may be what you're looking for. The Sedalia Parks and recreations Department has a lineup of youth sports programs that start in March and April.

There is no doubt that this year has had most of us uttering the words “remember when?”
