Second annual Holiday Kids & Crafts Fair returns Nov. 19 in St. Charles

On Saturday, Nov. 19, the Changing Children's Worlds Foundation is hosting its second annual Holiday Kids & Crafts Fair from noon to 4 p.m. at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center, 3795 Campton Hills Drive in St. Charles.

Children, youth and their families will enjoy a variety of arts, crafts, games and even creative opportunities (karaoke/adventure photos) that will help them express themselves. The kids will learn how to do recycled craft projects to continue their self-expression in positive ways.

They will get a superhero cape, have the chance to design their own mask and crown, take a picture with their favorite hero on the green screen, and sing some tunes at the karaoke station.

The foundation's mission is to support children and adolescents in positive development within loving, non-violent families. There will entertainment, refreshments, games, and crafts. Other highlights include storytelling and a scavenger hunt.

Raffle baskets and a silent auction will round out the event.

The St. Charles Kiwanis Club is a major sponsor of the event.

A Family Pass is $10 for up to three people or $20 for up to seven people.
