Trenton Makes—Words! proudly presents the second Wonderful WORDS Fair under the theme of “Music & Movement,” an engaging event offering vocabulary-learning sessions for children under the age of five with a focus on parent-child interaction. Families are welcomed to a world of words with fun activities and learning-centered entertainment.

The free festival is set to take place on Saturday, January 23, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the CYO Center on 794 East State Street. With a long history of serving Trenton families through educational and recreational services, the CYO is a crucial community host partner of the Trenton Makes—Words! project. The center has parking available on site and is accessible by public transportation.

Music and dance are at the heart of the multi-session activities focused on live performances and educator-led interactive sessions. The lineup of performers include the Michael & the Rockness Monsters from Preschool of Rock, TEDI, Earth Movers Drum Collective, Pei Kids, and Let’s Help, Let’s move; in addition to the Trenton Makes-Words! partners which include the New Jersey State Museum, The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey, the Trenton Community Music School and PNC. Throughout the day, families can learn about the Trenton Makes—Words! Family Engagement Series and Pop-Up Sessions and register for upcoming sessions.

Registration to the fair is encouraged; the first 300 families to register receive a light snack and a special gift. Families can sign up by visiting the Trenton Makes—Words! website calendar or by calling Caitlin Fair at (609) 393-2980.
