The Kentucky Recreation and Parks Society (KRPS) will host its annual District 5 fundraiser on Saturday, September 26th. As stated on the official website, KRPS was organized in 1953 as a non-profit professional association for Kentucky’s parks and recreation professionals. The Society is an affiliate member of the National Recreation and Park Association, headquartered in Ashburn, VA. KRPS offers a variety of workshops and networking opportunities for government professionals with an emphasis on parks, sports and recreation, aquatics, playgrounds, leadership, sports fields, and parks maintenance.”

This year, representatives from Kenton County, the City of Independence, the City of Erlanger, and the City of Edgewood will serve as the event committee, displaying the collaborative nature of the organization.
