This year I was able to take a little girl I baby-sit for the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and was not sure what to expect. They have a special one-hour show on Friday nights during their season for children where many organizations come to help entertain the youngsters. The Ohio Wildlife Center came and brought a hawk, the Columbus Museum of Art came and allowed for crafts, many music companies came and brought instruments children could try out and play. Along with all the activities to keep you busy before the orchestra started, they also sold pizza, snow cones, and ice cream by Graeter's. The port-a-potties were very clean and they allowed you to leave to your car and come back in without any fuss. They also allowed strollers and wagons along with food and beverages. The Popcorn Pops is a younger rendition of their Picnic with the Pops that happens on Saturday nights.
The theme for this evening's events were Remarkable Farkle, which is based off a book, The Remarkable Farkle McBride by John Lithgow. Along with fun music that everyone (even the Children know) they tell the story. The two songs we sang this evening were Oh Susanna, and Michael Finnigan. At the end we all got up and did the hokey pokey and have a great time. I cannot wait to do this again and if you have young kids and are looking for something to on a Friday night this is it. It is only an hour long and it is enjoyable for all ages.
