After collecting all five punches, kids earn a specially-designed button to help them remember the lessons learned. Feb 9: Game of Thrones: The Long Summer. If you thought Tyrion, Jon, Sansa and Arya had it all under control, hang on to your swords. There is a new threat looming: climate change. In addition to 5 activity stations at each event, there will also be one activity station focusing on theme-related creative play for parents with toddlers. “The little guys will earn a button just like their older brothers and sisters, but with activities geared to their skill level,” said program lead Karen Adkins. “Family Fun Fest Junior fills an important niche for parents looking for innovative educational opportunities for their children.” For more information, click here.
