BFFW CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL AT TRINITY PARK
The BFFW will once again be hosting its Children's Festival at Trinity Park on
Sunday, June 8, 2008 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. This event
has received a tremendous amount of recognition in its first two years and is promising
to be even bigger and better in 2008.
The performances for this event are being made possible through funding from the
Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County. The BFFW is extremely grateful to
the Council for making it possible to bring such a multitude of cultures together
to perform in one location. The festival is free and open to the public and will
provide community services to those who attend.
The BFFW is also very thankful to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for once again becoming
a Corporate Sponsor of this event. Their continued support has made it possible
to inform those who would not otherwise know about such an array of beautiful performances.
The attendance continues to increase because of the Star-Telegram's major role in
this festival.
If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a sponsor of this worthwhile
event, please contact Carmen Garcia by email at carmen.garcia@dancefolklorico.com or at 817/894-2558. Follow is a Sponsorship
