KidSight Name Badges
Time to order KidSight Names Tags
 
It has been several years since we made KidSight name tags.  We encourage all volunteers to have a name tag when we go into the schools or the public screenings..  As we all know the schools have a lot more security.  It helps everyone to feel more comfortable when we have a badge as we walk around the school and into the classrooms.  It generally makes us look more professional.  We have a new design and supplier thanks to Lion Dan Kiel.
 
Please let me know if you need a new name tag.   Thank you for all your help with KidSight

Come join us at the Dragon Boat Festival
  
 
Come Enjoy Denver's Dragon Boat Festival 
Bring the family. Cheer on our team! Volunteer for KidSight. Eat something yummy. Enjoy the celebration and most importantly, Have Fun!
 
It'll be hot you say? Yes. But they have cooling shade sails which will screen out up to 70% of the direct sun. And, they have cooling stations! So, just make sure to bring your sun block and your sunglasses.  
 
Park at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in the northwest lots off of 19th and Federal. The cost is $5 and then ride the FREE shuttle bus that runs every few minutes to the festival.
 

Eat at one of the two Taste of Asia food courts, one on the west side of the festival and one on the east. That means more space, more choice and fewer lines to get your taste buds going. Check out our menu of Taste of Asia vendors, from Chinese to Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Laotian and more. This is a perfect opportunity to widen your culinary horizons and try a little of everything. And for those of you who prefer festival food at festivals, we have more typical fare such as burgers, brats, sausages and fries too. To help you keep cool, we have water, Pepsi and snow cones.

Shop gift items, jewelry, arts, toys, fashion and lots more just browsing from booth to booth.

And so much more!
