KidFest Fund-Raiser Will Benefit Children

KidFest ‘97, a fund-raiser for several local charities, will feature games and rides for children and their parents this weekend at Huntington Beach Mall.

A climbing wall, bungee jump and a Lazer Tag tunnel will be available for the older kids, while youngsters can enjoy the coloring contests, roller-hockey demonstrations and other activities.

Some attractions require tickets, sold in books of five for $5. Proceeds will benefit Clothe the Children--a project of the Kiwanis Club and Salvation Army to buy school clothes for needy children--as well as the American Red Cross, YMCA and Olive Crest Children’s Homes, among others.
