Tot’s Rock, the best kids dance party of 2009!

February 22nd, 2009

Hello Everyone,
Are you ready for the best kids dance party of 2009!? It’s that time of year again. I am delighted to be bringing Tots Rock back to the Windom Community Center for our third year. For those of you who have not been to the event before, you won’t want to miss this super fundraiser. My husband, DJ Docken, will be spinning tunes for the kiddies while they rock out on the dance floor under a blanket of bubbles. Kids get to play with blow up guitars and egg shakers, there are temporary tattoos, a hair and nail station, snacks… it’s a kids dream come true! In past years we have over 200 kids join us for this exciting event.
