Kids Fest!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Kids Fest on February 23!

 

FND's 4th Annual Kids Fest was held at the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA on Saturday, February 23.  The weather was perfect and over 100 families joined us to celebrate children.  We'd like to thank the vendors who brought information and activities, including the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Verizon, Pathfinder Outdoor Education, Kidz Club, DisAbility Achievement Center, and Hugs First Kisses Later.



 


We want to give a shout out to FND's young adult group for baking cupcakes, putting together all of the carnival games and providing the entertainment!


DJ Mike kept everybody moving!
