Children’s Wellness Network FUNFEST is a complete wellness family event featuring education, food, fun, activities for kids of all ages. The Children’s Wellness Network of Georgia FUNFEST offers a unique opportunity to unite the whole community to promote holistic health through fun, information and participation.

In addition to strengthening our commitment through gathering as a community, this event will give be a venue to gather and to learn how to create a healthier future by eating, playing, learning and living healthier. Two deserving non-profit organizations, Georgia Organics and Two Angry Moms will directly benefit from this event in support of their School Lunch Advocacy and Farm 2 School Programs.

In reflection of this mission, FUNFEST will be divided into four pavilions, each showcasing an aspect of holistic wellness. Body: showcases the physical aspects of wellness, food and nutrition. Spirit: showcases the earth, ecology and environmental awareness. Mind: Showcases educational development and mental activity. Soul: showcases play and fun.

Our Mind Pavilion features educational information including information on successful School Wellness Programs in Georgia, recipes and cooking tips for healthy cooking with kids, free copies of the Blueprint for School Wellness Councils from the Center for Ecoliteracy, free materials from the Renegade Lunch Lady Ann Cooper and much more.

Our Body pavilion features an onsite buy local market with offerings from local businesses and farms. At the end of this pavilion guests can enjoy live demonstrations at our Chef’s showcase tent. As a kickoff site for Get Outdoors Georgia, FUNFEST will feature a live animal show with the birds of EarthQuest and animals from Panola Wild Excursions. Live performances by local artisans and entertainers bring fun and soulfulness to FUNFEST.

To complete this extraordinary event, Children’s Wellness Network will host a movie screening of the Two Angry Moms documentary film in the Frazier Center Atrium as FUNFEST’s finale. Amy Kalafa of Two Angry Moms will be on hand to answer questions and give more information on how parents can become active participants in their schools and communities in support of wellness for our future generations.
