Have you been thinking about introducing your kids to Kleinhans Music Hall? If so, this Sunday is the perfect opportunity to do that, with the event Jingle Bell Jam. Each year during the holidays, the music hall puts together a program for the kids, that includes a concert, a meet and greet with Santa and Mrs Claus, and milk and cookies after the show. The event is part of the BPO Kids effort to introduce youngsters to the joys of music, in a way that only Kleinhans can offer.
The day starts off at 1:30pm with a series of delightful activities for the kids. The BlueCross BlueShield Healthy Zone Cruiser will be setting up so that the children can “get the wiggles out” before the concert. There will also be stories, games and other crafts with the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, Monkey See, Monkey Do…Children’s Bookstore, and Tutor Doctor. Families will also get a chance to create holiday card for those in the military who can’t make it home for the holidays. Attendees are also invited to bring a new unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots drive.
Instead of taking your kids to the same old things, time and time again, it might be the perfect time to expose them to a world of music that they might not be familiar with – the exciting world of Kleinhans Music Hall.
