GirlFest 2012: A Girl-Tastic Celebration on Oct. 20

Imagine - an entire day filled with everything girls love! Girls and their families celebrate everything cool about being a girl on Oct. 20, sponsored by Girl Scouts of Western Washington!

Have you ever thought, “I sure wish there was one whole day where I could learn more about what I like and who I am?” If you’re a girl (or you know one!) and you live in Washington, then, boy, will you be excited to know that such a day exists! It’s called GirlFest, and it’s a daylong celebration of everything cool about being a girl!

GirlFest is October 20, at CenturyLink Field Event Center in Seattle from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.!

Perhaps you’d like to study cool stuff under a microscope, or learn more about being a news reporter. Maybe you would like to climb a rock wall, play a guitar or make your own rocket? Learn about T-shirt design, video games, the environment, sample yummy local food and even hang out with some horses!

You can even shake your tail feather to hip hop dance lessons and super-cool concerts from snazzy stars like Savannah Outen and dreamy boy band, Invasion! Plus, get face painting, caricatures, nail stickers and henna tattoos. If you can dream it, you can find it at GirlFest!
