HAMMOND – The Louisiana Children's Discovery Center in downtown Hammond will host Southeastern
Louisiana University's Lion Cub Fan Day for the university's littlest fans on Friday,
August 23.
The event is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. and will feature members of the Lions
Football Team, Lionettes and cheerleaders who will lead the children present in various
activities, including cheer and chant practice, Lion artwork and storytelling with
Lion and football themes.
"Every month at the Louisiana Children's Discovery Center we host several fun
and educational programs where the children and the adults can learn different things
while playing," said Anette Kirylo, executive director. "We are very excited to support
and host the Southeastern Lions Cub Fan Day.
"There are not many chances where a child gets an opportunity to interact and
be so close to a real football player," she added, "so we are very excited to meet
the players and learn from the whole team. It's going to be such a fun time!"
Kirylo said the children will also have the opportunity to take pictures, receive
an autograph, play and maybe even have the team show off some of their secret football
moves and plays.
Every child will receive a Lion giveaway and posters. Some lucky little Lions
will take home special prizes too. Additionally, parents will have the opportunity
to save $160 on the purchase of the Family Pack Tickets for the Lion football season.
The Family Pack is $200 for two adult and two youth tickets in general admission and
select reserved bleacher sections for all six homegames. Thursday, Aug. 29, is the
Lion's home opener.
