K is for Kids When planning an event, making it kid-friendly can ensure a fun experience for everyone. Here’s how to create an event that delights the little ones and gives parents peace of mind: * Include Kid-Friendly Activities: Plan activities that are fun and engaging for children, such as games, arts and crafts, or a dedicated play area. * Provide Appropriate Entertainment: Hire entertainers who specialize in children's performances, like magicians, clowns, or face painters. * Ensure Safety: Child-proof the venue and have staff or volunteers specifically assigned to supervise kids' areas, ensuring a safe environment. * Offer Kid-Friendly Food Options: Include menu items that cater to younger taste buds, and consider any dietary restrictions. * Create a Kid Zone: Designate a specific area where kids can play and be entertained, giving parents peace of mind. * Plan Interactive Sessions: Include interactive elements like story time, dance-offs, or mini competitions to keep kids engaged. * Communicate with Parents: Provide clear information to parents about what activities and amenities are available for children. You can of course ask experts, like myself, who are highly experienced in performing at child-centered events and know what works and how timings should best use the party time. By focusing on creating a joyful and safe environment for kids, you'll ensure that your event is enjoyable for guests of all ages! #ABCsOfEvents #EventPlanning #KidFriendlyEvents #FamilyFun

YMCAs...Keeping Halloween Safe AND Fun For Families Trunks, Treats, and Total Peace of Mind Across the U.S., YMCAs are more than fitness centers—they’re community hubs. This Halloween, many are hosting Trunk-or-Treat events, where families gather in decorated parking lots to enjoy a safe, fun night. Parents, kids, and neighbors come together to celebrate in a secure space without the traffic concerns of traditional trick-or-treating. Started in the '90s, Trunk-or-Treat has grown into a beloved tradition. With cars decked out for the occasion, kids can wander among superheroes, princesses, and ghosts to collect treats without worrying about busy streets. The YMCA makes it easy for families to celebrate together while putting safety first. Beyond Halloween, YMCAs serve communities year-round.  It is why it’s our mission to help Ys leverage their real estate to align with community needs, empowering them to evolve facilities, increase memberships, and stay financially sustainable. For an organization with 180 years of impact, it's a powerful way to expand and continue serving the communities who count on them. #TrunkOrTreat #YMCA #CommunityBuilding #HalloweenSafety #FamilyFun #BuildingStrongerCommunities #Gro #GroDev
