Market Maven: Kids’ Day Rocks
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Kids’ Day at the Market was a roaring success! Everything was so festive! Kids came, danced and sang, laughed and played. Policemen rode horses down to the Market to let the children pet them. Bob Piascik played guitar and sang, and had the kids hooked from the first verse of “Down by the Bay.” I’m always amazed at how kids can sing their hearts out.
Also entertaining the children was Luke the Juggler. Luke has all sorts of amazing talents, and on Kids’ Day he was Mr. Balloon. He wears an apron with what looks like 5,000 different types and colors of balloons. You know a balloon guy is good if he runs out breath while reciting the list of animals he can make. His Website also says he does fire juggling. Hmmm… that would be a blast for a birthday party.
COSI brought some kiosks down to the Market as well. Jonathan from COSI helped us make seed necklaces, which we can replant at home and have radish plants. My kids might actually eat radishes if they grew them themselves. There were also some challenges and brain teasers at their booth. COSI rocks!
Kids’ Day at the Market gets better every year. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next year. Until then, come visit us at the Market this week!
