Recent Events
Here are some highlights from recent KIC events...
Back to Basics- Hoedown 2009
Cowboy hats, plaid shirts, gingham and of course cowboy BOOTS! This year, Kids in Crisis brought Hoedown back to the good ol’ days when Hoedown went “Back to Basics.” It was a boot-stomping, dosey-do-ing good time that ended with a lesson in line dancing by professional dancers. New pictures from the event show the fun everyone had! Monies raised by the annual benefit will help fund the programs and services provided by Kids in Crisis. For information on how you can be a part of the next Hoedown, whether it is helping to plan the event or to volunteer, contact us at: 203-622-6556. [ more ]
