The photos from today’s post are from another Kids Club event at Tysons Corner Center. In partnering with Wegmans grocery stores, there were some fun activities for children to take part. They had a station where they taught a safe and proper way to use a knife to cut up bananas. Another had a station with an example of a healthy snack – a smooth made from the bananas, strawberries, and yogurt. At the end of the Wegmans display was where parents could pick up a reusable grocery bag filled with more snacks, recipes and coupons for items at the store.
2004 was the first time that Wegmans had a store location in the DC Area. Since that time, they have made a huge impact on the market. In case you have not been, or are not familiar, these are not your ordinary grocery stores. They have very nice prepared food sections, bakeries, and spaces for visitors to eat in-store. My mom would even take out-of-town guests to the store as a destination – probably for the floral department that is always full of color.
There was also a talented face painter for the kids to visit, and a balloon artist that really made a lot of connection with those in line. The roaming emcee made sure that those waiting in line were also involved and entertained! He called those watching from the upper floor to join in the fun. It is always a nice photo assignment. Be sure to sign up at the Tysons Corner Kids Club website to be notified their schedule for events – I’ll get your photo when you are there!
