Holiday Greetings from all your friends at
Capital's Children's Ministry!
This holiday season, the KidsTown Live! performing crew got together to throw one great holiday party for all the kids that come and see them so faithfully each week.
As part of the deal, the kids got to vote on which characters they wanted each of our actors to come back as during the celebration. Among the cast, was Pocahontas, the Queen of Hearts, Candace, Lucy, Blueberry Muffin, Merida, Dory, Molly Mahoney, and a Ninja among others! Each character was put to task to find out the history behind one aspect of our holiday celebration, whether it was the Christmas stocking, the tree, the mistletoe, or Santa Claus. Each actor's findings were shared with the kids.
Also there was food that was themed to each actor at various tables that the kids got to rotate around to and sample, for example, there was shark head watermelon at Dory's table and granola for Pocahontas and at Candace's table there were corn dogs in honor of Mr Slushy Burger. Molly had a chocolate fondu fountain and the medieval table with Merida had sausage and ale (ginger ale, that is!).
One final special treat that the children got to enjoy was a special full length puppet show by our good friend Matthew Chandler, who came back for a visit and brought with him all our beloved friends from Pester and Rocky to Arnold and of course, Grandma Stewmaker. Another special guest, Sam, brought with him Chewy to assist (or should we say wreck havoc) in the puppet show.
