The events the girls were involved in was excellent. Thank you.
My kids had a wonderful time! Very family friendly, and we loved the the Troll dance party.
We attended the Three Vikings reading. Afterwards, my 5 year old told me , while crying, that he didn’t want to attend these events ever again. This was due to the fact that after everyone had received their free book, you then decided to hold a raffle that only had prizes for two children. Kids this age do not comprehend the idea behind games of chance and I’m not sure what the reasoning was behind this considering it is supposed to be all inclusive. This was a huge misstep and we will not be attending any further events with the children’s fest. Be smarter.
My grandson and I had a fantastic time!
I really enjoyed the activities for the children. My favorites were the Keyboard Orchestra and the puppet show "How to Snag a Sea Monster". The generous gifts at the smaller events (book readings) was very impressive.
Although I realize space on the brochures is limited, my recommendation would be to give more detailed descriptions of the activities if at all possible. For example, the storybook orchestra was not what I expected. In the case of that presentation, a microphone for the speaker on the book would have helped the listeners to hear the music clips.
Overall, though, this you folks have a dynamite program. I appreciate the quality and diversity of the program. Thank you.
How to snag a sea monster was incredible! We loved the show and it was so GREAT!
Wonderful, engaging fun for children… and adults! Excellent, absolutely delightful Arenelle Tea in every way! The Keyboard Orchestra was intriguing and inspiring! We look forward to the activities coming in this weeks schedule!
The keyboard concert was wonderful. Thank you for making it a free event so that everyone could enjoy the talented children and young people. When we got to the concert we were asked if we had pre-registered. We didn’t know we had to pre-register but it turns out we didn’t have to anyway. But the line for people entering was so long and it took so long because all our information had to be put in the computer. Why? If the concert was free, why couldn’t we just have walked in? That part was a real mess.
Great performance!
