*|FNAME|*,
With the kids back at school, we thought we'd make this newsletter all about our youngest fans. Did you know the 2018 CIOC Festival is as much for children as it is for adults?
We curated a list for you of the best events to take children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews to. Got teenagers? We've got them covered too.
Why not share this with somebody special? Hope to see you there!
