Museum's annual fundraiser is even 'sweeter' this year
The executive Director of the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History is Delray Beach resident Lori Durante. Durante started the Children & Parent’s Day four years ago as a way to bring families together in a “fun, educational setting.”
“The purpose of this festive program is to provide a fun-filled day of family adventures with arts, crafts and history education activities for children. The interactive activities will include various types of winter-theme arts and crafts plus a magic show and story book readings. The attendees for the event are multi-generational who are equally engaged by the stimuli created from the activities at the event. The arts and crafts at the event will help to encourage motor-skill development along with teaching the ability to identify, create and design art using geometric shapes and primary colors,” Durante said.
“This is a festive event that engages the entire family on every age level from toddler to grandparents,” she said.
The master of ceremonies for the event is WPTV- Ch. 5 anchor Paige Kornblue.
"I am delighted to be a part of Children & Parents Day Winter Wonderland once again! This event brings families and communities together and is such fun," Kornblue said.
Children's & Parents Day is a one-day event set for noon to 4 p.m. Jan. 11.
The Candy Land-themed event will take place at the Boynton Woman's Club, 1010 S. Federal Highway.
The year 2009 will also mark the 10th anniversary of the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History, the host of the event.
