Knock Knock Children's Museum

“It is an honor to serve the families and children of the nine-parish Capital Region and beyond. We look forward to welcoming everyone starting August 22, and we can’t wait to see children’s expressions as they take in their children’s museum for the first time,” Peter Olson, Executive Director of Knock Knock Children’s Museum, said. 

Have a look inside… 

The museum will be open Tuesday through Sunday, with daily admission being $14. Children under 1 will be admitted free. Three family memberships are being offered, ranging in price from $150 to $1,000 annually. Bookings for field trips and birthday parties will begin on Aug. 1, with field trips being available on Oct. 1 and parties on Sept. 1.

Knock Knock for ALL Access Fund

Knock Knock Children’s Museum plans to offer reduced admission to families in need and free field trips to kids in the city-parish’s Head Start program, hoping to knock down barriers that would otherwise prevent any child from experiencing the museum. Those interested in donating to the fund to allow more children in the Capital Area Region experience the life-long benefit of play can do so on the Knock Knock Children’s Museum website.

Drew Brees kicking off Football ‘N’ America youth flag football league in Baton Rouge

by

Something special is coming to Baton Rouge! Drew Brees is launching a co-ed youth flag football league, Football ‘N’ America, that he hopes will grow into a safer alternative to tackle football across the country and possibly save the game of football. Registration for the leagues in New Orleans, Covington and Baton Rouge opens Friday, June 30th.

According to ESPN, Brees and Stuart said they researched flag football and saw that void because they found there wasn’t a lot of uniformity in youth leagues across the country. They also said they would also like to help create the type of family and community environment where games are a big event on Thursday or Friday night, followed by families going out for pizza together — or heading to the big high school game later that night.

“I think that this has the opportunity to really save the game of football, honestly,” said Brees, who didn’t hide his passion or ambition for the Football ‘N’ America league, which will kick off this fall in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Covington, Louisiana, before expanding into other states next year and possibly nationwide someday.

“I think we’re filling a void that is much-needed,” said Brees, who developed the idea with longtime friend and marketing agent Chris Stuart while coaching their sons’ flag football team in San Diego over the past two offseasons. “We felt like, you know what, we have the opportunity here to really create what will be the premier youth co-ed flag football league in America.”

Football is America’s game. FNA is a non-contact youth co-ed flag football league for children in grades K-8 with 5 different divisions. Leagues will provide a safe, positive, competitive, and family-friendly environment to learn the game the right way and have fun doing it!

Drew Brees Football ‘N’ America 6-on-6 Flag Football League 

Football 'N' America Drew Brees

Season: Summer 2017
Starts: Aug 25 ’17
Ends: Nov 5 ’17
Location: Burbank Dr. (Traction Sports)
COMMISSIONER INFORMATION: Brad Cresse – bcresse@tractionsports.com
 

During registration, parents may request their child to play with as many friends as they’d like. You may also request a specific team if your child is already on their roster and you have been notified by their head coach. The goal is to create a balanced and competitive league while accommodating as many requests as possible. All teams will have a minimum of 8 players and a maximum of 10 players on their roster.

Brees will also help to coach the coaches in the Football ‘N’ America league by providing personal video tutorials and starter playbooks for coaches and commissioners. Registration opens Friday for the six-on-six leagues, which will range from kindergarten through eighth grade and be run in partnership with ProCamps.

Monster Jam Triple Threat Series Coming to Baton Rouge – Giveaway

by

The Monsters return to Baton Rouge and Baton Rouge Moms has a Family Four Pack to give away!! For the first time ever, Monster Jam will bring its premier Triple Threat Series to the Raising Cane’s River Center April 7 – 9, 2017. The Monster Jam Triple Threat Series can only be seen in select cities across the country and features the most extreme athletes of Monster Jam.  Louisiana fans will witness a fierce battle for the championship with each competitor using customized high-powered vehicles: Monster Jam Speedsters, Monster Jam ATVs and the famous Monster Jam trucks. Due to popular demand, a fourth event has been scheduled.

Monster Jam® is fun for the whole family, so much more than watching big trucks. These trucks actually face off in two different forms of competition — side-by-side racing and freestyle: Side-by-side racing – traditional bracket racing, where the first truck, with the least amount of penalties, crosses the finish line is declared the winner. Freestyle competition – allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills. In this category, the fans serve as the judges.

Monster Jam

Monster Jam events are affordably priced for the whole family with seats starting at $15. Tickets are available at MonsterJam.com and the Raising Cane’s River Center Box Office (formerly the Baton Rouge River Center).

For the most current show times, Pit Party times and ticket information, visit MonsterJam.com or follow us via our social channels below:

A few Monster Jam® fun facts:

  • Typical Monster Jam trucks cost $600,000 yearly to build, staff, compete, transport and maintain on the Monster Jam tour.
  • Steel body full-size cars are the vehicles typically crushed during a Monster Jam event, and they have to be pull out of the arena, that’s when people ask what’s the best ATV and UTV winch for the job?
  • Cars, as well as vans, buses, motor homes, airplanes and ambulances, are attained from local junkyards and returned after each event, car accidents terrify me, this is way I always like to have my babies car seats from HiFiveBaby.com all the time, as well as having Insurance Partnership as my insurance company, these are things that make me feel a little more safe.
  • Average number of cars crushed per year: 3,000.
