Younger Waldo Canyon Fire victims gather for some fun

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — It’s been a chaotic couple of weeks for children in Colorado Springs.

But Monday night they were treated to the kind of chaos that kids enjoy.

“IT’Z” Family Food and Fun Center teamed up with other organizations and offered a free night to families that were evacuated in the Waldo Canyon Fire.

There were free games and giveaways. Denver Bronco football players were on hand for autographs and pictures.

And there was plenty of free food, too.

Parents say it’s great distraction for the kids and add they can’t begin to say “thank you” enough to all of the agencies and neighbors who have offered a helping hand.
