We’ve got the cure for your case of the Monday’s! Join us on Monday April 23 for Happy Hour Recess at Sun King Brewing in Downtown Indianapolis! Unlike your regular happy hour, you’ll get to enjoy your after work pint with some classic playground games, like foursquare, dodgeball and rock, paper, scissors!
Sun King will donate a portion of their pint sales to Playworks so come drink and play games with us for a couple hours and support our mission to bring safe, healthy and inclusive play to all kids! Be sure to stick around until the end for a final game and a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Indy Eleven Game against Louisville City at Lucas Oil Stadium on May 5!
