This Saturday promises to be a great time for the whole family at Quarry Lakes in Fremont as they kick off the 2006 Trails Challenge and Kid Challenge with their annual "A Walk In The Park: A Family Health and Lifestyle experience."

Folks are invited to enjoy this day of fun-filled activities and live musical entertainment by Trinity featuring Danielle Savre from the hit WB show "Summerland," and pop-rock sensation, Kristy Frank. Also on hand will be "American Idol Juniors" finalist Grace Leer and Trevor Penick from O-Town.

Event goers can meet Bay Area sport superstars at the interactive Sports Clinic featuring Oakland Raiders Super bowl MVP Quarterback, Jim Plunkett; NBA Hall of Famer Nate Thurmond from the Golden State Warriors; the Warriors cheerleaders; and MVP pitcher Dave Stewart of the Oakland A's, who will all sign autographs.

Kids will enjoy games and activity booths and visit with the Amazing Spider-Man who will be there to show off his super powers as well as the Golden State Warriors mascot Thunder and his Dunk Show complete with a Dunk Pit and Bungee run.

Those who bring a non-perishable food donation will have an opportunity to win prizes from Radio Disney. Donations will benefit the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
