A chance for kids to be cowhands, sort of…

JJ the Pony has invited children up to age 12 to a Cowboy Cookout Sunday June 2 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Somerset County Park Commission’s Lord Stirling Stable, 256 South Maple Ave., Basking Ridge.

Cowpokes and their parents will take a hayride to the campsite, where they may take a pony ride, play some games, and cook a hot dog on a stick for lunch. Children can come dressed in cowboy/cowgirl attire. Long pants are recommended and closed-toe shoes are required.

Food is included in the fee of $20 per child/parent pair. Additional siblings 12 and under may attend for $12 each.

Space is limited. Reservations and payment is required in advance at www.somersetcountyparks.org.
