2011 Frost Fest Offers Inexpensive Family Fun

posted on: Nov 30, 2011

As another Michigan winter approaches, the weather is growing chillier and children are spending less time outdoors. What’s a busy parent to do to break the indoor monotony without breaking the bank?

The Arab American National Museum (AANM) has a solution – Frost Fest! From 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, December 17, families are invited to attend this winter-themed party featuring games and craft activities for all ages, Kid Karaoke, a raffle with exciting prizes, a pizza feast and a “decorate-a-cookie” station.

This year, the AANM has teamed up with Children’s Hospital of Michigan’s Snowpile Program, which collects toys and games that help young patients escape the daily stresses of their illnesses.

The public is welcome to bring new, unwrapped toys and games (suggestion list HERE) to the AANM anytime between now and Frost Fest. During Frost Fest, attendees will decorate greeting cards to accompany the Snowpile gifts.

Children’s tickets for Frost Fest are $6 in advance online at www.arabamericanmuseum.org and $8 at the door; all activities and refreshments are included. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Groups are welcomed!

Adults are admitted FREE; adult food tickets will be available for $2 during the event.
