The Family Resource Center will host Children & Youth Day on Saturday, May 18th from 10AM to 3:00PM at Pixie Woods Amusement Park located at 3121 Monte Diablo Avenue. This year’s theme is Once Upon A Time. Event admittance and activities are free for children and families in San Joaquin County. The event will include arts & craft activities, entertainment, and information & resources for the whole family.
Children & Youth Day is designed to increase community awareness of services and opportunities available for children, from infants through teens. Children are welcome to dress in fairytale costumes, or as their favorite literary character. To keep with the theme, there will be a magic show performing at the park’s Entertainment Stage and children will be invited to participate in the Mascot parade throughout the park’s magical pathways. Children will get to pick out 1 free book (while supplies last) at the agency’s resource table and enjoy facepainting, games, and prizes throughout the day. The SAAR Line Dancers will help children learn beginning line dancing.
Visit with over forty exhibitors providing crafts, information, and resources that benefit children and families. Hands-on activities, and the carousel rides are free for event attendees. Sponsored by Health Plan of San Joaquin, Altamont Corridor Express (ACE CAP), First 5 San Joaquin, and Verve IT. This is the Family Resource Center’s 34th Children & Youth Day Event.
