Families, there’s a FREE event you won’t want to miss this Saturday, September 30th! It’s called KIDSPO: A Twin Cities Kids Experience, and it’s at the Eagan Community Center from 10-3.
Coordinated by SunThisWeek and the Dakota County Tribune, who have headed 3 KIDSPO events in the past few years, along with Twin Cities Kids Club, Twin Cities Road Crew, Tumblewalla and myself, this event brings together families, businesses and organizations to connect, have fun, entertain, and educate – all in one place.
There are so many reasons to bring the family to this event but I put together my top 10!
- It’s FREE!
- The first 100 families to enter will get a FREE Crayola Experience ticket ($19.99 value).|
- Three nonprofits will anchor 3 of the 4 corners of the gym with educational and exciting activities:
–The Works Museum will provide STEM activities, including KNEX racers and make-and-take rainbow sunglasses
–MacPhail Center for Music will have instruments for kids to try including the violin, ukelele, xylophone and many more, plus songs and activities
–Project My Neighborhood will host ongoing nerf battles throughout the day to raise awareness for bullying (visit them to find out how!) - There will be over 50 vendors and exhibitors – each with a fun, free kids’ activity!
For example:
-Tiny Diva Princess Party will offer photo opportunities with the Enchanted Princesses
-At the Northern Star Council Boy Scouts of America booth, kids can try soft-tip archery
-FlyOver America will offer opportunities to win free passes all day long!
-and MANY MORE! - There will be amazing stage shows, including a kids fashion show, a ballet performance and a snake and reptile show! The stage will also be emceed by Twin Cities Road Crew who will also lead music, dancing, giveaways and more all day!
- Food will be available for purchase, which you can enjoy at tables while watching the stage entertainment.
- Got a tired kid or just want to step away from all the action for a little bit? The Crayola Experience is sponsoring a room with quiet Crayola activities, adjacent to the bigger event.
