Going to the Movies…2012 Providence Children’s Film Festival

Going to the Movies…2012 Providence Children’s Film Festival

[ 0 ] 2.17.2012 |

Since seeing movies in a theater is still a big treat and opportunities to watch kid-appropriate films other than Disney or DreamWorks on the big screen are rare, my family eagerly supports the Providence Children’s Film Festival (PCFF) and we are looking forward to this year’s festival, February 16-21, 2012. Kidoinfo is a proud media sponsor for the third year.

Now that the festival (and school vacation) has begun I am taking some time off from Kidoinfo to volunteer at the PCFF, watch movies with my boys and assist them with their blog, FlickFlackMovieTalk.com. They enjoy being “press kids” at the fetsival—interviewing children and adults about what they thought of the movies. When not watching films or attending workshops they will be interviewing the audience, staff and directors.

Keith Munslow and Grammy Winner Bill Harley Hold Benefit Concert for RI Food Bank Dec. 10th in Providence

[ 6 ] 11.29.2011 |

Ever wondered what’s at the bottom of your child’s backpack? Two-time Grammy award-winning artist Bill Harley did some digging, and he put the answer into song. We love Harley’s humorous spin on growing up, going to school and family life. Families can hear him sing and tell stories at a benefit concert for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank on Saturday, December 10th at the Lincoln School in Providence. Two performances are scheduled at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

I have 4 tickets to give away for this concert! Please share your child’s favorite Bill Harley song or story in the comments below and I will randomly pick one winner by Friday, December 2, 2011 at Noon, EST.
