ASHLAND, Kentucky (November 16, 2006) – On Wednesday, November 15, 2006, the Ashland Town Center and Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital invite families and children to join us for the ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:30 pm for the opening of the new Jr. Doctor Playzone. Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital will provide a free coloring book to the first 100 children to enter the new Jr. Doctor Playzone. Pretzel Time, a new food court merchant, will also offer a coupon to the first 100 children for a free plain or original pretzel.

In addition to the play elements, smaller interactive play stations are located along the interior walls featuring various educational tasks. The play area was also designed with adults in mind, and includes storage cubbies and soft surround seating.
