Ever want to be a kid again? I think we all do at one point or another. Well, as an aspiring event planner, I often imagines events in my head for the younger generation and imagine myself in their shoes. When I was in that lovely pre-teen stage of 10-15, all I wanted was to be cool and have friends. And something tells me nothing has changed.
If I was planning an event for this age group today, here's what I'd do.
What: A festival/carnival promoting smart and healthy choices for pre-teen lives (i.e. abstaining from drugs and alcohol, exercising, getting involved in school and extracurricular activities)
When: A Saturday in September to kick off the new school year
Where: A local community park or event center
Activities: Skate demonstrations, carnival games and prizes, teen-friendly food, inflatable obstacle courses, local teen band performances
Sponsors: teen safety organizations, after school programs, trendy technology, health-conscious fast food, radio stations, teen school supplies
This really makes me want to be 14 again. Never thought I'd say that.
