I would say the concert is geared to kids a little younger. Of course, every child is different, but the typical audience for this concert is probably kids around 6 or 7 years old. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote
 
 
0 # Robyn Bruneau 2010-09-03 14:24 Question. I understand that there will be hotdogs and drink boxes at the Teddy Bear Picnic on September 5th. Is this free for those attending the 2:00pm Symphony? If so, is it just for children or does it include the accompanying adults?

Much thanks,
Robyn Reply | Reply with quote | Quote

I believe in the past Fat Franks has charged $1 for hotdogs and $0.50 for drinks. I will try and confirm those prices today.

Cheers,

We are still planning to hold tonight's concert at Hawrelak Park. The final decision for a venue change would be made no later than 3 hours prior to the performance. If it is moved, the change will be indicated throughout the website. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote
