This year’s CityFest will once again feature its popular KidsFest section, which is an area devoted exclusively to the kids in the family. Sponsored by Vic Smith CPA, P.C., the KidsFest area gives children a full day of fun and play at the most attractive price imaginable: free. “We’re having 15 inflatables for the kids. We’re having all the same great activities that the kids love," said Emily Sykes, vice president of the Alabaster Arts Council. “And best of all, it’s free.” According to the CityFest website (www.alabastercityfest.com), this year’s KidsFest will feature plenty KIDSFEST IS FUN! of great inflatables, plus arts and crafts, a drum circle, live music, and a healthy snack food demonstration sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. This year will also include some great face-painting for the kids. “We’re having some local art teachers that are going to come in and do face-painting for us,” said Sykes. “We’re happy to have them.” Lowe’s will also be on hand again this year with its popular “Kids Build It” workshop, which allows kids to build a variety of fun projects under the supervision of adults. The workshop is appropriate for kids ages 4 to 12 and is a popular station for kids to visit with their parents. “They provide activities for the kids to do which is great. All the kids seem to love it,” said Sykes. The Amazing Flyin’ K9s will be performing two shows during the day, one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 1:30 p.m. Kids will love seeing the high-flying dogs perform a variety of great tricks. Jim Aycock will be on the KidsFest stage performing his fun brand of children’s music. He’s scheduled to perform on the hour, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pony rides should be available again this year as well, at a small fee. In past years, KidsFest has been a big success with the children, and this year should be no exception. “We’re expecting it to be as big or bigger this year,” Sykes said.
