Kid's Day Feb 1

12-1 pm Mr. Noam’s Kids Music Circle
Mr. Noam has been a children’s song leader and educator for over 25 years. Mr. Noam brings his joyful musical stylings to preschools, elementary schools, libraries, children’s museums, community centers, and birthday parties across South Florida and couldn’t be happier about being able to do that on a daily basis. He is a proud member and serves as an officer on the board of the Children’s Music Network (CMN).
In addition to his focus on children’s music he is also a co-founder of the Community Hotline for Incarcerated People (CHIP) and the producer of the pioneering, recently released “Bending the Bars” album, featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and distributed by FREER Music. The album features 16 unique tracks by 15 incarcerated artists, the majority of which were recorded over the phone lines, in collaboration with producers and beatmakers on the outside.

There will be a 50/50 Raffle each day plus a few smaller raffles items and a silent auction located by the Gator Stage on Saturday and Sunday. All 50/50 raffles will be CASH ONLY! We will be able to sell raffle tickets online. Silent auction winners will also be able to pay online.
In order to not disrupt the music, winning numbers for the smaller raffle items and the silent auction will be listed at the raffle table and NOT announced from the stage. Ticket holders can come by to see if they won.
