Dandelion Festival Local framer receives CPF designation
Fun for Kids of All Ages! The Dandelion Festival is excited to announce that this year not only do they have the usually spectacular Kids Zone but they have also added a Teen Zone; a teenaged based area of fun and adventure. The Kids Zone at the Dandelion Festival is sure to not disappoint again this year. With reptiles, princesses and super heroes, climbing and jumping, balloons, and more. The Kids Zone is located inside Ball Diamond #1 along with the Main Stage and Teen Zone. Come out on Saturday and meet Brave and Ironman, read a story with Library Sue at the Library, climb on the giant inflatable obstacle course, jump on the bouncy castle, visit with your favorite Big Sky Ranch animals, and learn about reptiles with the Reptile Rainforest. On Sunday have your photo taken with Tinkerbelle and a Transformer, dunk your favorite town celebrity in the dunk tank, play some more with
your favorite animals from Big Sky Ranch, bounce away the afternoon on the bouncy castle and come watch the amazing Brad the Balloon guy twist and create masterpieces with balloons. The Teen Zone, with its main focus on Saturday to coincide with the My View Film Festival, will include a rock climbing wall, giant slides and tippy ladders. The festival organizers are excited to be adding fun and excitement for the tween and teenaged attendees at the festival. Julia O’Grady, the Production Coordinator of the festival, explained that “a gap in our entertainment has now been filled by providing entertainment specifically geared to the tween and teen age groups. This enhancement to the festival will now make the festival truly entertainment for the entire family.” A big thank you to the Kemptville Mall, managed by Bentall Kennedy, for sponsoring this year’s Teen Zone.
