Come to the AirShow, help build the Children’s Museum
Have kids? Grandkids? Going to the AirShow?
Stop by the Peoria Playhouse Children’s Museum booth, let the kids play and pick up a passport. This is your ticket to FREE fun. Emphasis on FREE. There’s alot of see at the Airshow, but believe me, there’s also alot to see that costs $$.
The ‘passport’ is a simple concept. While walking around the airport grounds, stop at the various marked booths and get your passport stamped. Get all the stamps, come back to the Playhouse booth and get a little prize. Simple enough, but you’d be shocked at how much the kids get into it. I was. They take it as a mini treasure hunt. You’ll be walking the grounds anyway and this helps keep the little ones occupied and they’ll be smiling with their little goodie bag they get to take home. (No, as much as you wish they were, they’re not quite as fascinated by the C-130 as you are, nor do they understand why you want to torture their little legs by walking alllll the way down there to see a biplane.)
While the kids are messing around with the fun stuff at the Playhouse tent, pick up a brochure and learn a little more about the Children’s Museum. Maybe you’ll see me. Apparently I’ve been officially volunteered to work- thanks JC! Oh, I’d be there anyway- but now it’s official. Does that make me the token Junior League man!? I’m not sure what to make of that.
Here’s the best part- some of the profits from the Airshow will be donated back to the Children’s Museum, so just by showing up, you’re helping.
Shameless Plug: I would be remiss if I didn’t encourage everyone to take some of the cash you saved by doing the free stuff and donate to the Playhouse via the Eyebrows McGee Challenge.
