Kidz Jam at Bonnaroo 2011!

Kidz Jam in Centeroo at Bonnaroo

Look for me, Matt Ward working at the Kidz Jam booth at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival right in Centeroo.  Kidz Jam is a great organization that helps children form a positive experience and make sense of the music festival happening all around them.  It is not a babysitting service, but a great time for parents and their children to interact and take a break in the shade from the festival sun.


Kidz Jam started at Ripplefest in Bluffton, Ohio in 2004. It was the idea of Barbara Huiner (Now Deer) and Matt Ward to give Ripplefest a more family friendly vibe.  Rain Blanken (now Taylor) took over and brought the event to Bonnaroo and it has been there every year since.  Come say hi and look for my Schwilly Kid blogs and tweets during the festival!
