The American Diabetes Association Kansas Diabetes Day Camp (Ka-Di-Da-Ca) is for young children with diabetes, their siblings and friends. Activities include learning more about diabetes, swimming, games, arts and crafts and hiking. The Kiss A Pig Event is 12 years old and was started by Helen Galloway in honor of the significant roll that the pig has filled in being the first provider of life saving insulin to diabetics.
I was honored to be present and give that sweet little piglet a kiss on her tiny snout. This event is hosted on top of the roof of the Hyatt where a B-B-Q dinner is served along with an auction and lots of dancing courtesy of the great band "Rain". If you have not been privileged to hear them yet they are local and fantastic!!
The kids were treated to bull rides, blow up games and rides. It was a great time had by all. The only sad event of the entire evening was coming up short with paid for camp memberships for the children.
