Shorewood Crossroads Fest Pre-Party For Families With Special Needs

By Marianne Eisenbrandt

This year’s pre-party for families with special needs is shaping up to bigger and better than ever.

This is the third year that the annual Shorewood Crossroads Festival will open early, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, for an exclusive pre-party designed specifically for families that include children with special needs.

The goal for the party is for families to have a wonderful time in an environment that is a bit slower paced and without the hustle and bustle of faster moving lines and trying to get on and off of the rides.

Families who want to attend the two hour pre-party are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible so every child has a t-shirt. Register by going to www.crossroadsfest.com or by calling 815-725-2900.
