This summer, we at PDX Kids Calendar are getting out and playing at community events all over the city – concerts, street fairs and more!
Come and find our big rainbow umbrella and play with us! Our booth will feature an interactive photo booth where kids and families can come and dress in costumes (generously donated by The Learning Palace) and goofy accessories (many generously donated by Kids at Heart Toys) – we will take their pictures (with permission). Kids can also blow bubbles, get active or make crafts with our many wonderful partners!
Plus, we have 2,500 reusable PDX Kids Calendar shopping bags – generously sponsored by World of Smiles Dentistry and Catlin Gabel School – to give out!
The events you will find us at are listed below – just look for our big rainbow colored umbrella and come say hi!
We are looking for community volunteers to help us staff our booths at these events – you get some great perks – and the love and admiration of your friends at PDX Kids Calendar! Email tabitha at pdxkidscalendar for additional details.
