April 4: Kidz Fair to raise funds for schools

Radio stations 103 WKDF and 104.5 The Zone will host Kidz Fair by White Castle on Saturday, April 3, and Sunday, April 4, at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium, an event planned to provide two days of family entertainment and activities, and to help Middle Tennessee schools raise funds.

“It’s easy for schools to be a part of Kidz Fair and raise funds,” said Vicki McBride, promotions coordinator with Citadel Broadcasting, the parent company of 103 WKDF and 104.5 The Zone. “All schools have to do is request the Family Pack tickets and sell them for $10 each. The school keeps 100 percent of all advance ticket sales. Promotional materials are provided to the schools to help in selling the tickets.”

Any public school, private school or preschool in Middle Tennessee can participate in Kidz Fair. The $10 Family Pack provides admission for an entire family (up to six people) to Kidz Fair and participation in activities including special entertainment shows, games and autograph sessions with sports celebrities. Every family attending receives a free Kidz Fair goody bag.

The Kidz Fair presented by White Castle will have more than 100 booths filled with fun and entertainment for the whole family. The Kidz Fair “Good Hands” Stage presented by Allstate will feature national talent, Tennessee Titans cheerleaders, TRAC and local talent. Bill Heard Chevrolet will present free DNA Child ID Kits to the first 500 kids (250 per day). Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital will host the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital Safety Fair with free hands-on activities for the kids. There will be a chance to meet the voice of Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy Doo.

“The school that sells the most Family Packs in advance will also receive a free $1,000 doughnut fund-raiser from Krispy Kreme,” McBride said. “The runner-up school will receive a $500 fund-raising package.”

In addition to 103 WKDF and 104.5 The Zone, Kidz Fair sponsors include White Castle (presenting sponsor), Bill Heard Chevrolet, DIRECTV and Communications Concepts, Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, Allstate, The Tennessean’s Newspapers in Education, American Airlines and WNAB-TV.

Kidz Fair presented by White Castle is scheduled from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, April 3, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, April 4, at the Municipal Auditorium, 417 Fourth Ave. N. in Nashville.
