Kids Safe Saturday is an annual event hosted by Paris EMS to provide a positive message to children about safety. Each year we have different organizations come out to provide safety material in a safe and fun environment that children can understand. There will be bounce houses, hot dogs, barrel train, mechanical bull, and lots and lots of fun!

Lemonade Day 2026!
The Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce invites families to be a part of this FREE program that turns big ideas into real-life businesses. Lemonade Day is more than just a one-day event. It’s an exciting journey where kids learn how to dream big, set goals, and bring their ideas to life. Through this interactive program, children will gain valuable life skills like how to earn, save, spend, and share money, all while building confidence and creativity along the way. With guidance from parents and mentors, they will create their own business plan, design a stand, and launch a business they can truly be proud of. The big day is on Saturday, May 2nd, at the Junior Market at Rockwall City Hall, where young entrepreneurs can showcase and sell their products. And yes… they can sell more than just lemonade! This is a wonderful opportunity for families to spend quality time together while helping kids learn real-world skills in a fun and supportive environment. Sign-ups are still open, so don’t miss out! Stay tuned for registration details, and let’s inspire the next generation of leaders, right here in Rockwall!

Join us at the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum for Munzee at the Museum! What is Munzee you might ask yourself? Munzee is the next generation in global scavenger hunt games. Track down QR codes hidden in the real world and capture them for points. Whether you are a casual player, an avid explorer, or a hardcore competition enthusiast, Munzee helps you rediscover the world around you.
There are over 16 million munzees deployed worldwide and there have been over 1 billion captures worldwide. Everyone will have the unique opportunity to capture munzees on the museum grounds and inside the museum that will only be available during the event. During the event there will also be no charge for participants to go through the museum so it will be a great time to both play the game and visit the museum. For additional questions please contact the Museum at (903) 450-4502. Funding for this event is provided in part by the City of Greenville Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax Revenues.
