(Seguin) – Seguin KWED Radio is making sure kids have plenty of fun during this year’s annual Freedom Fiesta. As a precaution, KWED, last year, was unable to offer some of things that kids have come to enjoy at the local Fourth of July celebration. This year, however, it is rolling out a bit more for the youngest of guests. The event is scheduled from 6 to 11 p.m. Saturday in Central Park.
Kids will be kept busy with a street filled with bouncy houses. Helping to keep toddlers to big kids busy will be HR Party Rental in San Antonio. The company says it plans to provide close to 10 fun inflatables and obstacle courses. They hope to equip themselves so that children can play all evening long.
Also joining Freedom Fiesta this year will be Quick “Nick” Artistry out of the Brenham, Bryan/College Station Area. Nick McIntyre will be on hand for face painting, arm paintings and caricature drawings.
Twisting up some real cool fun will be Super Awesome Balloon Animals. As per tradition, the company will again return to Seguin providing an assortment of fun animal balloons. The company is known for is private creations plus its creativity over at Wonderland Jump and Play in San Antonio.
Kids, of course, are invited to help kick off this year’s Freedom Fiesta at 6 p.m. with the annual Kiddie Parade. Kids are invited to walk, ride or cruise throughout Central Park. Leading this year’s march around the downtown square will be Seguin’s very own Uncle Sam a.k.a. Texas State Representative John Kuempel.
Participation is simple. Show your patriotic pride by decorating strollers, wagons, bikes, scooters, skateboards, or motorized vehicles. The top entries in the walking, riding and motorized categories will be presented prizes by Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen and Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher. The non-political event is hosted by the Guadalupe County Republican Women and again, is held in conjunction with Freedom Fiesta. No sign-up is required. Families are just asked to simply line-up in their respective category minutes prior to the event.
