Rock the Cradle — a free day of family fun with The Current and Children’s Minnesota

A special thanks to all who attended and volunteered at The Current’s Rock the Cradle event presented by Children’s MinnesotaKids danced with Twinkle, the Children’s Minnesota mascot, in the Kids’ Disco. The (nearly) 10,000 kids and their grown-ups who attended the event at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Children’s Theatre Company spent the day dancing, listening to music, making art and having fun.
