The Family Resource Center will host Children & Youth Day on Saturday, May 18th from
10AM to 3:00PM at Pixie Woods Amusement Park located at 3121 Monte Diablo Avenue. This year’s
theme is Once Upon A Time. Event admittance and activities are free for children and families in San
Joaquin County. The event will include arts & craft activities, entertainment, and information & resources
for the whole family.
Children & Youth Day is designed to increase community awareness of services and opportunities available
for children, from infants through teens. Children are welcome to dress in fairytale costumes, or as their
favorite literary character. To keep with the theme, there will be a magic show performing at the park’s
Entertainment Stage and children will be invited to participate in the Mascot parade throughout the park’s
magical pathways. Children will get to pick out 1 free book (while supplies last) at the agency’s resource
table and enjoy facepainting, games, and prizes throughout the day. The SAAR Line Dancers will help
children learn beginning line dancing.
Visit with over forty exhibitors providing crafts, information, and resources that benefit children and
families. Hands-on activities, and the carousel rides are free for event attendees. Sponsored by Health
Plan of San Joaquin, Altamont Corridor Express (ACE CAP), First 5 San Joaquin, and Verve IT. This is the
Family Resource Center’s 34th Children & Youth Day Event.
