Children's entertainment aplenty May 15-16

Special to the Town Crier

Two May traditions - the 52nd annual Pet Parade and the 24th annual Los Altos Rotary "Fine Art In The Park," promise a fun-filled weekend for the family May 15 and 16 in downtown Los Altos.

The Kiwanis Club-sponsored Pet Parade starts at 10 a.m., and runs along Main and State streets in downtown Los Altos.

The Rotary art show, in addition to exhibiting works from nearly 200 artists, features an entertainment schedule with shows and activities for children of all ages to enjoy.

The festivities are scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., May 15 and 16, in Lincoln Park near downtown Los Altos.

Children's stage performances begin with "Cotton Candy Express," starting at 11:15 a.m. to noon, and 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., both days. This high-energy musical concert is designed to open the imagination of young minds to the wonder of science and math through interactive music, fun and games.

Lori Moitie' and RJ Johnson, the energetic duo of the "Cotton Candy Express" are seasoned performers.

They have successfully built their show into the number one most requested act in Northern California and are also the hosts of the Kids' WB 20 Club.

Other children's stage entertainment includes the following on both days: Jay the Juggler, noon to 12:45 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. to 3 p.m.; magic tricks by Tim O'Connor, 12:45-1:30 p.m. and 3-3:45 p.m.; balloon creations, noon to 2 p.m.; and face painting, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There will also be a variety of food and drink, and live music.

Following the pet parade, the Town Crier will hold its annual pet parade contest in the Community Plaza, State and Main streets, with prizes going for best overall, most unusual/creative, and best pet and owner look-alikes.

Proceeds from the art show benefit charitable projects and organizations such as the Rotary AIDS Project and the Community Services Agency.
