StarTek is sponsoring summer evening event at Leonardo’s Discovery Warehouse

Enid residents can now enjoy Twilight Time at Leonardo’s Adventure Quest 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, thanks to funding provided by StarTek.

StarTek, a business outsourcing service with offices in downtown Enid, will underwrite the operating costs of Twilight Time, which will continue through Sept. 2. There will be an admission fee of $2 for non-members.

“As a vital part of this community, StarTek has been very supportive of Leonardo’s, and we are thrilled to have them involved in one of the many exciting events we have planned this summer,” said Julie Baird, Leonardo’s executive director. “Twilight Time is a great opportunity for families to come to Adventure Quest and enjoy an evening together. All of this would not be possible without StarTek’s generosity and enthusiasm for community events.”

Chris Melton, StarTek site director, decided to contribute funds to Leonardo’s after learning of the opportunities the children’s museum brings to the entire community of Enid.

“We at StarTek admire Leonardo’s community in-volvement and family support,” Melton said. “Leon-ardo’s provides safe and interactive fun in a learning environment, which ultimately brings value and benefit to Enid and Garfield County.”

Leonardo’s also has officially begun its annual 100 Days of Summer Fun, with special events planned throughout the summer, including I Love My Dentist Day on Saturday. Sponsor-ed by Ocean Dental, of Enid, guests will receive free dental care items and information regarding proper dental care.

“Ocean Dental is excited to partner with Leonardo’s to celebrate I Love My Dentist Day,” said Danielle Edwards, community awareness coordinator for Ocean Dental. “Dentists take care of our teeth and make it possible for us to chew our favorite foods and have healthy, happy smiles. We’ll be giving out free toothbrushes and dental floss to the first 300 kids who come, so don’t be late.”
