Three-year-old Jenny has listened to her mom read her books and nursery rhymes since she was a baby, including favorites like The Three Little Pigs, The Little Engine that Could, and Alice in Wonderland. These stories and more will come to life on Saturday, Oct. 11 as Jenny joins more than 5,000 Sacramento County families at Fairytale Town for the First 5 Sacramento Annual Children’s Celebration.
“First 5 Sacramento supports programs and services to help meet the diverse needs of local families,” said Sacramento County Supervisor Roger Dickinson, Chair of First 5 Sacramento. “Our Children’s Celebration brings the community together to learn about these valuable resources in a fun environment for the entire family.”
Funded by First 5 Sacramento, this FREE family event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be filled with fun, prizes, food, entertainment, activities, exhibits and much more. While local children ages zero to five meet larger than life mascots, watch puppet shows, pet zoo animals and color on a giant kid’s coloring wall, parents and caregivers will gain valuable information about county-wide programs and services from more than 60 community organizations, including the Sacramento Public Library Wonder Wagon and the Sacramento County Smile Keepers Van.
A limited number of free Regional Transit (RT) bus passes and light rail passes are available to Fairytale Town from anywhere in Sacramento County and can be obtained through First 5 Sacramento and their grantees.
Fairytale Town is located at William Land Park on the corner of Sutterville Road and Land Park Drive in Sacramento. For more information on the free day of family fun and available resources to help parents raise children “happily, ever after,” contact First 5 Sacramento at (916) 876-5865 or online at www.First5Sacramento.net.
