The annual Military Kids Day at the capitol in Frankfort will be Wednesday, February 20, 2019. Military families from across the state are invited to participate. Senator Johnny Ray Turner of Prestonsburg said he would like to see eastern Kentucky well represented. He said “service to country is a long-standing tradition in eastern Kentucky and many of our young men and women proudly represent our country today.” Senator Turner added that Military Kids Day is a good way to recognize and honor the sacrifices of military families. Military Kids Day allows children of military families to participate in the legislative process for a day. The children are invited to go on a Capitol tour,  page for their respective legislator, participate in a Capitol Scavenger Hunt, and attend committee meetings related to military issues. The deadline for participants to register is February 18, 2019. A link to register can be found here https://legislature.ky.gov/LRC/Pages/Military-Kids-Day.aspx
