Sing-a-longs, Stilt-walking, and Extreme Jump-roping at Prescott Park Arts Festival KIDS Fest

July 15, 2007

Portsmouth, NH – Get ready for another fun filled afternoon for the young and young-at-heart at Prescott Park on Saturday, July 28. Performing from 10 AM to 1 PM is Toe Jam Puppet Band, Wayne from Maine, Extreme Air, and “Walkin' Tall Stilting” from New Heights Adventures for Teens.

Toe Jam Puppet Band delivers super fabulicious kids’ music that grown-ups enjoy too! Big kids Tom and Vinny bring smiles, giggles and dance to families with their unique combination of original and interactive songs and stories. The nonstop fun is contagious! Everybody will sing and dance along with the band as they entertain with a unique combination of original songs (“Barn Dance,” “Block Cheese Dance Party,” “Car Wash,” “Flying Laundry”) storytelling and just plain old good fun.

For over a decade Wayne from Maine has been performing and recording music for children. The Wayne From Maine show is a rousing adventure through various musical styles. Kids become part of the show through interactive sing-a-longs and stage-time as guest musicians and vocalists.

The Extreme Air team trains for national jump rope competitions and brings the love of the sport to audiences everywhere. The jumpers perform single rope and and double dutch rope routines involving intricate rope manipulation, rapid footwork and breathtaking gymnastic skills. The team also performs group choreographed routines to high-energy music.

Prescott Park Arts Festival does not charge an admission fee for any of its events but does rely on donations given at the gate. For this festival, the suggested donation is $5 per person.

In the event of rain, the KIDS Fest will be held on Sunday, July 29.
