Parent Child Dance!

~March is Parenting Awareness Month~

Come join us in celebrating the bonds between parents and their 

children at our annual Parent Child Dance!!!

The Parent Child Dance is an annual event that is hosted by the Ionia County Great 

Start Parent Coalition. The first dance was held in March of 2010. It was started from a $300 

grant that the Ionia County Great Start Parent Coalition won through the cool community’s activity 

from Michigan One Credit Union. Parent volunteers from the parent coalition wanted to do 

something in the community to help bring families together and celebrate Parenting Awareness 

Month. Last year we had 113 attendees and 11 community businesses sponsor this event.

The Ionia County Start Collaborative requests your presence at an evening of games, activities, 

prizes, refreshments and music! This fun filled evening is free to children 12 and under with the 

presence of their parents. This parent child activity is an opportunity for you and your child to 

spend a FREE fun filled evening together! Define black tie attire for yourself; Have fun& be 

comfortable! The event theme this year will be Masquerade…. Don’t forget to stop by the craft 

table to make your mask for the evening!!

Find yourself having a blast with your children in a way that is not always possible during everyday 

life. Take this evening to engage in your children’s lives, and have fun with them in a way that you 

can both relate to!!!

To join in on the fun this year, come to the Ionia Armory at 439 W. Main St Ionia, MI 48846 on 

Saturday, March 14th 2015 from 6:00pm-9:00pm. You might find that there are many more parents 

in your very own community that you can connect with, enjoy time with, and meet your children’s 

friends. Most importantly… Make Memories with your child!

We hope to see you there!!!
