If you’ve got kids between the ages of three and seven, there is an event that the whole family will love. It’s the WNED-TV Kid Fest and Character Breakfast – featuring a couple of fabulous events that bring a few children’s favorite characters to life. Special characters include Clifford the Big Red Dog, super readers Super Why & his pal Princess Presto, Daniel Tiger straight from the Neighborhood, and Arthur the Aardvark. It’s great to see the events back again, and WNED-TV Studios/RiverWorks will be the perfect places to let the kids loose to enjoy themselves.
“We have had many requests to bring Kid Fest back as it was such a popular event with area families,” said Donald K. Boswell, President & CEO of Western New York Public Broadcasting. “Parents appreciate that it offers so many terrific activities for young children at a time when they may have some cabin fever after the winter months.”
Highlights include:
- Appearances by Clifford the Big Red Dog; super readers Super Why & his pal Princess Presto; Daniel Tiger straight from the Neighborhood; and Arthur the Aardvark!
- Live Performances!
- Kid Vision will allow guests to “step into” a PBS KIDS program and view themselves on a television screen with PBS characters.
- PBS KIDS Coloring Contest.
- A variety of community organizations from around Buffalo will be on hand for activities, crafts and demonstrations.
- Each child will receive a free goody bag. The event also will offer raffles, prizes, and low-cost snacks.
