On Television

Using The Amazing Race to get kids to stop watching The Amazing Race.

The great state of Connecticut is looking to TV to combat TV. Their Department of Environmental Protect (which is responsbile for state parks from what I gathered) is using an Amazing Race-style contest this summer to lure families into the state parks and off of the couch. The state is placing clues throughout the state’s parks system which can earn families prizes. This is a very cool initiative with a very cool name: Leave No Child Inside.
