We had such a great time! Thank you Cartoon Network and Comcast!
Comcast Cable and Cartoon Network are partnering to bring the network's national GET ANIMATED Tour to Toms River on July 7th at 10 am - 4 pm at Gateway Toyota. The 40-city tour, now its fourth year, is a pro-social, pro-lifestyle program designed to motivate, energize and educate kids ages 6-11 about healthy living choices by using the power of Cartoon Network's show and brands.
At each stop of the GET ANIMATED Tour, kids will have the opportunity to engage in physical activities that promote the message of keeping in shape. Activities will include a kickball station, tennis challenge, obstacle course, bicycle race, bowling challenge and limbo competition.
All activities will be themed around Cartoon Network's line-up of original cartoon series including Ben 10: Alien Force, Camp Lazlo, Chowder, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and My Gym Partner's a Monkey. The GET ANIMATED Tour will make 40 stops across the United States from May 23 - Sept. 7, 2008.
Cartoon Network and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will present a new activity based on their SPOT THE BLOCK campaign, an on-air and online public education effort that encourages kids and teens to use the Nutrition Facts information on the food label to make healthier food choices. SPOT THE BLOCK on the GET ANIMATED Tour will feature an easel and large moveable puzzle pieces that mirror the online game found at www.spottheblock.com. Kids can test their puzzle-solving skills while learning to understand the nutrition charts on food packaging more effectively.
