The always popular and always free KIDSFEST will return to the Arts Center grounds on Saturday, August 7, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. This year's event is called "Art Explorers" and will feature many hands on projects that will take us back in time to Egypt and away to outer space. Each year Kidsfest offers over a dozen hands-on activities for children of all ages. Craft stations are set up on the AAC grounds (near Straw Hat) so that children may move about at their own pace and try whichever crafts and games they want. In addition, our concession stand will be open during Kidsfest, offering hot dogs, pop, popcorn, and other snacks. Visitors are also welcome to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the grounds during the event. This year promises to be fun for the whole family, with many exciting games and crafts available for kids of all ages. You can explore all different methods of making art, including papermaking, painting and paper folding. You can even learn how to spell your name in hieroglyphics and Japanese. Some other crafts that will be included in this year's Kidsfest are mask making and jewelry making. There will be a huge mural for everyone to join together and paint. Sure to be a great afternoon of fun and entertainment for the whole family, Kidsfest is a great way to get outside and get involved this summer! And, best of all, the whole event is FREE!! Hope to see you there!
