Before hosting our first family-friendly event, Collin County Moms Blog needed 3 elements to fall into place.
We needed the “right” venue. We needed the perfect theme. We needed families to WANT to come. With the help of our host venue, The Shops at Willow Bend, all 3 elements fell easily into place with Hanging with Heroes!
Hanging with Heroes combined all of our favorites: Food, Fun, and Heroes!
The Shops at Willow Bend provided a fantastic space near the food court that allowed us to partner with local shops and restaurants to make this event a one-stop-shop for families. Sonic, Great American Cookies, and Chick-Fil-A were all on hand to provided samples to our VIP Guests, and our friends at KIND Snacks and High Brew Coffee provided some great treats for kids and parents while they waited to see their favorite heroes!
When all of our heroes arrived, seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces made all the hard work that went into this event so worth it! We loved that children of all ages were eager to meet fictional heroes like Batman & Wonder Woman as well as real-life heroes like the Plano Police Department and Plano Fire & Rescue. {Unfortunately, our friends with EMS were called away on an emergency.}
Families could also enjoy our complimentary face painting and hero-themed crafts!
Of course, what made this event possible was all due to the help of our amazing sponsors like The Children’s Courtyard. Our complete list of attendees is listed below, but we wanted to also say a special thank you to BBVA Compass, Emler Swim School – Dallas, Jungle Joe’s, Kidventure, TopGolf – The Colony, and Wise Orthodontics who were all present to provided great prizes, crafts, and giveaways to our Hanging with Heroes attendees!
We had such a great time at our first family-friendly event that we’re already in the works for planning our 2nd event this Winter! We cannot wait to meet even more of our Collin County families in person.
