City youth rec programs may be cancelled Thursday due to anticipated hot weather

By Howard B. Owens

Press release:

Due to extreme weather conditions predicted for Thursday, July 21, the Batavia Summer Recreation Program (Parks Program) will possibly close for the day. The weather is predicted to be 95 to 100 degrees and humid, which makes being outdoors unsafe for people of all ages. The number one concern of the Batavia Youth Bureau and Summer Recreation staff is the safety of the program participants…therefore the Youth Bureau reserves the right to close for conditions that pose a threat to the staff and the participants.

Please tune in to WBTA AM 1490, Thursday morning, for the final decision.  Youth Bureau staff will alert WBTA of our decision by 8 a.m. on Thursday morning. Should you have further questions or concerns, please call the Youth Bureau at 345-6420.

God Bless you for thinking of the young kids. I can not imagine them playing in that tremendous heat on Thursday. They say it will feel like 110 degrees.

Are y'all wimps? Yesterday was day number 34 above one hundred degrees for this year in Austin, Texas. I love AC, but it feels best when you are all sweaty and heading for a blue popsicle. Blue has always been my favorite flavor.

George we are as wimpy as Texans are when they shut everything down because they get an inch of snow :) It's all what you are used to.
