Fall Fun Fest! October 2, 2010!

The inevitable is happening, Summer is ending and Fall is on its way. At the Children’s Museum in Oak Lawn, we are welcoming the season change because that means it’s time for one of the premier festivals in the Chicago Southland. We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the annual Fall Fun Fest on Saturday, October 2nd from 9am to 2pm. All are welcome to attend and have fun!

Every year this event grows and grows. Last year the Fall Fun Fest welcomed over 1,500 guests and visitors.  “This event has truly become a staple in the community,” says Executive Director, Adam Woodworth, “people start to ask about it long before Summer is even over”.

 
Why is this event such a big hit? Because the Children’s Museum provides families with entertainment, activities, raffles, and great food. The 2010 Fall Fun Fest will have Pumpkin Decorating, Trackless Train Rides, Special Entertainment, and so much more! 
 
Sponsorship and booth opportunities are available for restaurants, crafters, and companies looking to reach over 1,500 guests in one day!   For Information contact Bernadette Shanahan-Haas at the Children’s Museum at (708) 423-6709 ext 204 or click the following links:  Vendor application    Restaurant application

Why Support the Children's Museum?

Samantha_at_museum.jpg

The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is a place for families to learn, explore and soar together. It's a place for children to be creative, to role play, and to build.  It's a place for parents to be the teacher in their child's life.  It's a place for discovery, learning, and fun!

The Children's Museum is funded through admissions, birthday parties and field trips.  However, this funding will only account for around 65-70% of our annual operating budget. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help keep our admission prices competitive with other children's museums and to provide quality, educational experiences for children. 

Please consider supporting the museum in one of the following ways:
 

- Click on the "Donate Now" button on the left and make a donation

- Donate a vehicle (call 708-423-6709 x201 for details)

- Purchase a membership as a gift for someone

- Visit our "how you can help" page (click menu item on the left) for more ways to assist

 

The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn is a stand alone 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We truly appreciate your support.
