Winter Fest

On Saturday I took the family to Winter Fest in Down Town Cleveland Ohio.  I have to say it was a lot of fun and didn’t cost anything. We definitely make plans to attend it again next year.  A friend named Jamie Kinton who works for Radio Disney told us about the event. My wife and I both remarked to each other how nice it was and how Radio Disney worked extremely hard to help make this event a success.  They had members greeting everyone they came into contact with.  They helped with all events that were set up by other vendors such as the VIP, Anderson Window, Wii activity both and changing out the stage in between events.  They did a great job getting the crowed excited and entertaining the children. I think that it was really inspiring to see that turnout. How all of these people came together to share in the Christmas spirit. It was such a nice night I wish it was like that all year round.

I got called up on stage to participate in a pencil grabbing game.   

While standing backstage this dude standing next to me had his 8 year old daughter look at him as serious as a heart attack and tell him if he didn’t win he was not aloud to come home.  At any rate I won the contest  and was the winner of a Cars 2 blue ray dvd. Since we already had it I gave it to the guy backstage.  He was so thankful.   I few minutes later the Radio Disney crew threw out t shirts and I caught one.  The little girl standing behind me was so upset she wanted it so bad. I gave her the t-shirt she was so happy. Next they through out key chain I ended up getting one but the little boy beside me went for it to.  How can I keep it and leave this little boy upset.  So I gave it away.  It all turned out okay later I caught another t-shirt and Fish Hooks bag which I gave to my daughter.

My daughter had a blast watching and dancing along with Radio Disney.  Here is a video of her cutting a rug. She is the little girl in the blue coat that I flip the camera to.

All of the dancers did an excellent job performing…. here are some photos.

The night was culminated by the magical lighting of the Tower Square Christmas Tree and park.  News Channel 5, Huntington Bank, the mayor and other official hosted the event on Winter Fest stage.  The Guys family flipped the Christmas switch and the down town glowed with the Christmas spirit.  Fireworks followed the event.  It was truly an awesome event.
