Pack up the stroller, round-up the teens, telephone Grandma and Grandpa and head to the two-day event where there's something for all ages. It's the 2007 Marin Home Show and Benefit Jazz Fest on June 2 & June 3 at the Marin Center Exhibit Hall and Fairgrounds in San Rafael.
For the youngsters:
JustKidding Music performs a special interactive concert for children ages 3 to 10-years old set for 10 a. m. Saturday. Children are encouraged to participate on stage in this concert supporting early music education to improve cognitive development. Admission to the JustKidding Music concert is $10 adults and $5 children and includes free admission to the Marin Home Show & Benefit Jazz Fest. All proceeds from this concert aid Marin County public school early education music programs.
The Marin County Fire Department presents tours of its Children's Safety House Saturday at the Marin Home Show. Designed especially for children ages 3 to 10 years old, this special house tour teaches awareness and escape skills in an emergency. The specially designed house is an interactive, hands-on learning experience teaching children about fire safety, fire alarms, smoke detectors, kitchen safety, how to call 9-1-1 and earthquake safety. Parents can watch the entire learning experience from an LED monitor screen just outside the Safety House - during which their children will learn from Marin County Fire Dept. personnel and officers.
