Six Flags Great Adventure’s FRIGHT FEST #NJ
Begins This Friday the 13th

It is SO hard to believe that September is hitting us straight in the face and along with that Halloween in tagging along. If you are like me and obsessed with Halloween you will be just as excited as I was to hear about Six Flags Great Adventure starting up their Fright Fest THIS FRIDAY!!!! Friday the 13th!! Does it get any better than that? I don’t think so! So gather up your ghoulies and head over to Six Flags! Thrills by day, Frights by Night! It’s a wonderful day for the KIDS to enjoy ALL day long! At around 6pm the park transforms into Fright Fest mode, so if you have any zombiehaters, it would be time to head to the front gates! It’s fun either way! Emily enjoys the day and my boys enjoy both day and night, along with ME!

Six Flags Great Adventure’s Fright Fest Presented by SNICKERS® promises the longest run in its 22-year history plus four new attractions at the world’s largest scream park. The event features family-friendly “thrills by day,” while an amped-up “fright by night” will deliver more scare zones, terror trails and haunted mazes plus nearly 200 zombies and a total of 25 Halloween-themed shows and attractions.

The Hub Network, a destination for kids and their families, will host the first “Hub Network’s First Annual Halloween Bash,” to be broadcast on Saturday, October 26, 2013 on the cable channel.

Maybe you will be the walk on! Someone is going to have an amazing time this Halloween!
The special will be hosted by Kenan Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”), along with Halloween expert Martha Stewart who will lead a panel of celebrity judges, and includes music performances and a nationwide costume competition where 50 semi-finalists from each state will head to Los Angeles to be a part of the two-hour star-studded event.
One lucky winner will win $25,000 and a walk-on role on the Hub Network’s Daytime Emmy® Award-winning series, “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series.”

THE WIGGLES “TAKING OFF!” Tour
Hits NYC October 1st at Best Buy Theater
We Have a Pair of Tix and Toy Set Just For You!
The Wiggles have been a part of our lives forever! Last year we had the chance to be introduced to the NEW Wiggles! It was a little tough to imagine the original Wiggles not being together, but after meeting the new group we fell in love immediately! The new Wiggles just work! We are really looking forward to seeing The Wiggles in concert this year! It’s something new but after our little sneak peek last year we just cannot wait! The Number One Children’s Entertainment Group Introduces, a New Cast Including the First-Ever Female Wiggle, a New TV Show, CD & DVD and a New Partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The times are a changin’ and so are The Wiggles. After 21 years of entertaining children around the globe, The Wiggles will introduce three new cast members including the first-ever female member, Emma Watkins. These vibrant new Wiggles will bring the “Taking Off!” worldwide tour to over thirty-five major cities across North America between August and October to support their new album of the same name available on Razor & Tie.  The Wiggles are now a proud sponsor of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, the global leader in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other deadly diseases.  

Always educational and entertaining, The Wiggles includes a fun group of people and characters including Blue, Red, Yellow and Purple Wiggles with Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus on board for an extra wiggly good time. “The Wiggles are all about getting kids to eat healthy and moving through dance. They’re known for delighting generations of children and families who are captivated by their unique brand of music, fun and learning” said Paul Field, Managing Director of The Wiggles. Founding member Anthony Field, known as the Blue Wiggle noted, “The new cast will truly connect with today’s generation.” New members, Simon Pryce (Red Wiggle), Emma Watkins (Yellow Wiggle) and Lachlan Gillespie (Purple Wiggle) round out the group of talented musicians and entertainers. Anthony added,”Their energy and dedication to the brand is invigorating, and we are especially thrilled to add our “First Lady” Emma who, literally, has been a fan since she was a little girl. It was her dream come true.”  Paul went on to say, “Little girls finally have a female Wiggle to look up to. InAustralia, the “Mini-Emma-Army” is becoming a national phenomenon with girls coming out in droves to each show dressed up as Emma in replica outfits complete with lots of bows.”

This will be the first time that North American audiences will get to meet the new line-up and hear new music, as well as sing along to their favorite hits all incorporated into their live show. Taking Off! features 21 new feet-stomping songs including the catchy soon-to-be favorite, “Do The Propeller!” as well as “Beep! Beep! Buckle Up!” “Emma (with the Bow in Her Hair)” and classics such as “Rock-A-Bye Your Bear” and “Get Ready To Wiggle.”
