Gift Wrap Give Back

As we begin to pull into the final two week homestretch before the holidays, I can't help but smile (and gloat a little) at the fact that my shopping is done. To me, that's the easy part. It's the wrapping that really gets me. If you're in the same boat as me, I have the solution--gift wrapping at Barnes & Noble. The Kids on the Block team, comprised of our wonderful board members, will be on location wrapping your gifts for donations. You can visit our table between 11 and 6 on Saturday and again from 12-4 on Sunday. And if you have several packages, just think about how you can kick back and enjoy a read or a latte while we work. So come help us help you, too. Remember, donations from the community keep our troupe performing for the Bowling Green/Warren County children free of charge. We hope to see you this weekend!

Puppets on Parade in Smiths Grove

Looking for something to do with the family this Friday evening? Our troupe has been invited to march in the 10th Smiths Grove Christmas Parade. Gather in downtown Smiths Grove for the parade at 6 p.m. Kids on the Block will be among floats, marching bands, beauty pageant winners, and other special participants. It looks to be a brisk evening, so cuddle up with your family and 2,000 expected spectators for the event. (And don't forget the hot chocolate!) Be sure to look for our "Kids" waving from the van and catch the treats as we toss them into the crowd.

And before I leave you, I'll share a shot of the KOB board members that happily came to this morning's early holiday meeting.
