Although most of the nation experienced harsh winter storms in December, here in the Treasure Valley it just got really cold. A little snow never hurt anyone in our area--we're built for this! Regardless of the outdoor conditions, however, it has been a long "winter break", especially if you have kids at home. In these long stretches of cold weather and no school, families can often be searching high and low for affordable ways to get the family out of the house.

We've got great news for you--because we have just the solution.

Back again this January is the Canyon County Kids Expo-- an annual, day-long event held at the Ford Idaho Center!  The event offers all sorts of fun for kids at an affordable price and there are also great resources and things available for adults, as well!  The event is highly anticipated and this year, two major attractions will have the kids begging to go!

First, characters from Paw Patrol will be returning to the Ford Idaho Center! Make plans to bring the kids to meet their favorite characters from the hit television series!

That isn't all--a new addition this year has little boys and little girls jumping up and down! 

The 'Aussie Kingdom' exhibit will be at the expo this year, which grants kids access to get up close and personal with real life kangaroos! This huge tour is the ONLY traveling Australian stage show in the USA and it will be making a stop in Nampa!

Let's take a look at some kangaroos that we found online, counting down the days until the Canyon County Kids Expo!
