\nShiny Kids Family Festival was an event that took place on May 5, 2012 at the Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, featuring a stage show, puppets, music and dance and an interactive Eco-Maze, which is a giant inflatable sculpture you can walk inside of.

The festival also featured costume parades, face painting, collaborative art making with Zee Kesler (The Bright Red Crayon), roving performers, organized tom-foolery, and storytelling by some of Vancouver’s best story tellers. Including Naomi Steinberg, Renee Iaci, Lisa Sars, and Lori Sherritt. It also featured the Arts Umbrella Youth Theatre Outreach Actors as a gaggle of clowns who performed and roved throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Festival is a collaboration of The Shiny Collective (local award winning children\u2019s entertainers; Gogo Bonkers, The Lost & Found Puppet Company, and The Ta-Daa Lady and Juno award winning Peter Puffin ) in partnership with the Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the Shiny Kids Family Festival\u00a0 was a live stage performance of “Save the Sea”. The stage show featured live music by GoGoBonkers, dancing and puppets by the Ta Daa Lady and Maggie Winston (Lost & Found Puppet Co.). It told a very important story about the ocean, environment, community and helping each other. Children and Parents were welcomed into this magical world to learn about the importance of protecting the ocean, how garbage effects everyone, how rewarding it is to eat healthy and locally and how planting seeds will provide what we need to better our lives.<\/p>\n

This Festival’s goal is to become an ongoing family event that could take place anywhere. It aims to make a positive difference in the lives of children and families by helping them connect and interact with artists and individuals in their community about sustainability and socially conscious ideas, concepts, and growth. Oh, and have a whole bunch of fun doing it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We, in the Shiny Collective, have been working tirelessly since September of 2011 to realize this festival and now it has become a reality thanks to the Incubator Residency. It was a huge success. Almost 200 people attended the festival as audience members and festival goers; we enlisted over 25 volunteers, and over 15 performers!!! We hope to make The Shiny Kids Family Festival an annual Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre event.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Big Thank You<\/strong> to Cyndy Chwelos, all the Volunteers, and all community members who made this event a huge success!!!
