Free fun for kids at the 28th annual 'Kidfest'
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Something big was brewing at the Central Panhandle Fairgrounds on Saturday.
The Early Education and Care Head Start program is hosting its biggest event of the year to celebrate the little ones. They held their 28th annual 'Kidfest'.
Early education and care is an educational program for children that also provides comprehensive services for families.
It is a day about the kiddos, with 40 different agencies providing all sorts of fun activities for the children.
Program Director Janice Flowers says the event offers free fun for children.

'It is truly rewarding to see the smiles on our children's faces, but also the smiles on the parents' faces. Too, to see because it's not a lot of things that are being provided today for children. That's not expensive. You can walk into these gates today for free and have fun,' Early Education & Care Head Start Program Director Janice Flowers said.
They were joined by law enforcement agencies, like the Panama City Fire Department, the Bay County Sheriff's Office, and the Florida Highway Patrol.
The Florida Highway Patrol brought a car crash simulator machine to teach children about car safety. PanCare and the health department were also there to provide physicals and dental exams for children.
