Sounds & Sights Festival: 25 July 2014

The annual Sounds & Sights Festival continued Friday with fun in the KidZone.

Chelsea Lanes brought its portable bowling alley.

The bear from the Chelsea Teddy Bear Company was out and about.

After that photo, the bear got a big hug.

As always, the balloon creations tent was popular.

This little one waited very patiently for her balloon creation!

The matchbox car derby track provided plenty of action.

The bubble pond was lots of fun. I mean, who doesn’t love bubbles?

Friday’s KidZone fun concluded with an appearance by PAWS, the mascot of the Detroit Tigers!

Young Tiger fans were happy to see him.

PAWS accompanied a reading of Casey at the Bat with his hilarious antics.

Then he borrowed one young fan’s hat, just to see how it looked.

After handing out prizes to kids who correctly answered a few questions…

…he spent some quality time with fans.

He posed for pictures, too.

One of the littlest fans was fascinated with PAWS’ chin.

If you’re wondering if I took the opportunity to get a photo with PAWS…I did. I mean, it’s not every day you get to meet PAWS!

Thumbs up to you, too, PAWS. Thanks for visiting Chelsea, and go Tigers!
