Thanks from the Promoter!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the 2nd Annual Austin Kids Day! I managed to speak to a majority of people first hand and everyone seemed to really enjoy the event, especially the air-conditioning venue! For those of you who know, this past Saturday could very well end up being the hottest day of 2008 on record- at least that's what I heard through the grapevine! But not even the heat could keep over 700 people from getting down at Austin Kids Day to great musical performances by Joe McDermott& The Smart Little Creatures, Aunty E & The Friends, & The Biscuit Brothers!

So thanks to everyone, including the local vendors who faced the heat to bring nice chilled products like Maui Wowi Smoothies, Vitamin Water, Genesis Boost (those things kept me going strong!), Out There Cooking & El Arroyo, Bonzo Crunch & Mystical Magical Michael for their wonderful entertainment, Games2U for their awesome video game theater, Epiphone for providing such a cool backline for the bands to play, DRUMZ for providing the cool world music workshop and instrument petting zoo, Beary Cute Stuffables for their courageous employees who dressed up in the bear costume, Austin Kids Directory & Baby Scoop Austin for their wonderful knowledge of local businesses & always providing happy helping hands, Bright Horizons for their great staff and charitable donations, Saturn for letting everyone hang out in their cool cars, Lauren Portrait Art & JBell Photography for taking such cool photos (which I'm still waiting to see by the way and when I do I will post them for everyone to see!) , 1379 for lending a helping hand and bringing out such cool kids athletic wear, Premier Parking for helping all the patrons find their 'spot', Sock-Hop for the great bouncy houses, Tunes4Me for providing the cool CD's and face painting, KIWI the Clown for providing the great balloon design & face painting, our wonderful sponsors who helped make this whole thing possible- Longhorn Kids Club, Bechtol Golf Designs, UT Golf Club, Steiner Ranch, Stratus, Rogers O'Brien, Bright Horizons, Endeavor, Lincoln Property Company, The Kucera Companies, Audio Visuals, Heritage Title, & The Capital Area Food Bank...and last but not least- The Riverbend Center- you have the best staff of any venue in Austin and you made everything possible, from the wonderful facilities, to the friendly and hard-working staff, to the great volunteers- top notch from bottom to top; and especially thanks to Sharon Dillard, whom without none of this would have been possible! Also, to all of the wonderful volunteers, thank you so much, you are awesome, hard-working, and dedicated and that is so hard to find so I really appreciate all that you did! Thanks.

Thanks again to all the kids and families who came out, and especially to all of you who dressed up for the contest, it was so much fun and ALL of you looked amazing! Stay tuned for news on next year's Austin Kids Day!!!!
