It will be a kid’s world at The Village at Squaw Valley USA when the resort hosts Kid-O-Rama, a week filled with family friendly activities from February 13 to 21, 2010. The celebration includes everything from costumed skating parties to family ski racing to street parties and scavenger hunts.
The Kid’s Street Party at the Village at Squaw Valley’s Fountain Court on Wednesday, February 17 is one of the highlights of the event. At the party, children and their families will enjoy live entertainment by Todd Wees, face painting, candle making, hot cocoa, fairy blessings, the antics of a clown, and a bounce house from 2 to 4 p.m. Todd Wees is known for his talented musical performances, which allow children to sing, move and learn. A father of two and a Truckee local, Wees learned the guitar after graduating from college in 2000 and soon gravitated toward playing Kiddie Rock, thanks to the inspiration he received from his own family. His performances began attracting the attention of local parents and he now devotes most of his musical career to entertaining children.
