The annual Kids Fair in Auckland kicks off this coming weekend with huge media coverage and just on 100 exhibitors, of which we are one of them. We're looking forward to it! 10am-5pm Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th July.
This time last year, when first learning of this event, we took it on in Wellington with its 3 day event and loved it! The hype of families and many teachers created a huge buzz, alongside such presenters as dance teams, Ronald McDonald, Cookie Bear, gigantic bouncy castles and everything from learning stations to face painting. While a handful of 10,000 or so visitors came through those doors, the Auckland expo brought in just on 25,000 people last year. We can only assume there'll be more this year - word of mouth and marketing does wonders and the timing is perfect...rig

ht in the midst of the school holidays.Learn-Now will take position in Stand 74 and while we had a treasure island theme last year, we're all the more hands on this year, within the Learn-Now online learning centre itself. Students can experience life within the programme, with connections with Scotland, Astronomy, Chocolate in particular. We were to promote another partner we admire greatly, but at the 11th hour, have been thwarted by legalities. A shame - but as complimentary as it was, the show goes on, opening up more scope for our programmes.
There'll be chocolates on hand, in association with our ChocLot Paradise Chocolate Factory programme, fridge magnets give-aways (see image on right), and a running slideshow featuring life with Learn-Now. eLearning@home and eLearning@school will feature as our tag lines and we're of course looking forward to it.
(We pray that on our home front all will be well though - when last at the Kids Fair, the 5am call on Day 3 to say that Jo's house had been completely destroyed by fire most certainly dampened a little of the buzz. Be that not so this time, even if only at the interim rental, pending even a peg in the ground for the new place! :).
