WOW! What a great 2012 festival.
No wonder it's #1 for family fun!
The 2012 Houston Children's Festival, presented by Baker Hughes and benefiting Child Advocates, Inc., will go down in the record books as the very best EVER. Over 50,000 families, friends, volunteers and sponsor partners gathered together March 31 & April 1 in beautiful downtown Houston for the unmatched excitement of the 24th annual event. Take a look at the highlights below to see why the Houston Children's Festival reigns supreme as Number One for Family Fun.
The 2012 Festival fun included the Sunday appearance of JAMES MASLOW, who stars as JAMES DIAMOND in Nickelodeon's BIG TIME RUSH and popular boy band by the same name. And on Saturday Radio Disney presented RAINI RODRIQUEZ, who stars as TRISH on the Disney Channel's Original Series "AUSTIN & ALLY." Both kids and adults enjoyed non-stop excitement on 6 stages of music & entertainment and 10 big Family Adventure Areas, including Baker Hughes Circustown, Apache Super Science World, H-E-B Healthy Kids Zone, Child Advocates Kid's Korral, SABIC Monster Math Zone, Green Mountain Energy Company Green Zone, McDonalds Family Fitness Zone, Chobani Champions Bus Tour, Cumulus Radio Kid's Corner, and El Paso Energy Tile Painting Corner.
HoustonPBS was there with BUDDY, the T-Rex from DINOSAUR TRAIN, along with interactive games, crafts, CLIFFORD, THE BIG RED DOG, rides, furry friends, giveaways, inflatables, face painting, sports, magic...well, you get the idea. It was a whole lotta fun.
To make a good thing even better, we have now raised over $4.5 million dollars for CHILD ADVOCATES and the abused and neglected children they serve in Harris County. WooHoo.
And the good news is, we gonna do it again next year on April 6 & 7. Which, by the way, will be the 25th Anniversary of the Houston Children's Festival. So get ready for some big celebrating!
