DFW Family Expo

If you’re looking for an inexpensive, family-friendly excursion in Dallas this Saturday, March 13^th, head down to Centennial Hall at Fair Park for the inaugural DFW Family Expo, put on by Metroplex Baby and Kids (MBK), and benefitting Children’s Medical Center.

It promises to have something for family members of all ages and stages, including on-site baby gear demonstrations for new and expecting parents and a toddler zone with bouncehouses and face painting.  Even mom and dad can take part in the fun by stopping by the Tony & Guy booth in the Home & Family Services section for mini touchups and TIGI product samples.

“There really is something for everyone! With specially designed sections, exhibitors and providers are able to cater to the consumer’s needs… Those looking for deals can head over to the Market Place and Resale Zone to shop for clothes and more, at prices 40%-60% off retail. There is so much more with amazing giveaways, children’s concerts and even trackless train rides,” says Barbara Arnondin, Co-founder of MBK.

Tickets to the Expo are $3 for adults and $2 for children 2 and over. All the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Children’s Medical Center. On-site parking is $10, but attendees are encouraged to take DART (a Green Living sponsor and official transportation provider) for easy and inexpensive access to the Expo. You may also find free parking nearby at the Women’s Museum.

Some of the other sponsors include all three major baby retailers- Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby and Lone Star Baby & Kids. Industry leaders like Britax, Maclaren and Born Free will also be on-site to demonstrate their products and answer questions. This is only a fraction of the companies represented at the Expo.
