KidsZone Hits New Height

bjfwebbie — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 04:00:15 +0000

This year’s Kid’s Zone has new and exciting activities this year – as well as some old favorites.

New for 2011 is the Avid 4 Adventure climbing wall. We’ve wanted to have the wall be a part of the Kid’s Zone for years so we’re thrilled that it finally happened. Also, this year you can be your own t-shirt designer! The Jewish Fest kids t-shirts were designed so that the small, or not so small, artist can decorate to their hearts content. Buy your shirt at the Festival Information booth and come on over!

And last, but certainly not least, Gaga is back! On loan this year from Shwayder Camp is the mobile Gaga pit. The J-teen teens will help guide all ages through the world of Gaga so amateur and expert alike should feel free to join us.

See you on Sunday!

Stickybits at the Boulder J Fest

Got an iPhone or Android device? Tag your world with Stickybits! Each booth at this year’s Boulder Jewish Festival will have unique “Stickybits” barcode. Download the free Stickybits app ahead of time, then scan away!

Scan a barcode and attach a “bit” – a photo of something at the booth, a music video, a text comment or a song. Each scan can be seen in the live stream of “scans” and is mapped on a Google map. Want to remember which organization had a great upcoming program? Scan their bar code and attach a message. Can’t believe how good the food is? Scan the code and attach a photo. Love the music on the main stage? Scan the code and attach a video clip. See an amazing piece of artwork that you know a friend would adore? Scan the code and share with a friend.

When you scan a code, you can also see which other users have scanned that code and what they have attached. And people who scan after you will see what you attached. Get it?

As if that weren’t nifty and cool enough, you can also see the locations of the scans and a running list of popular scans. You might see a lot of activity at a particular booth, and the location ID will enable you to find it.

Boulder-based companies Occipital (a “TechStars” company) and SimpleGeo help make Stickybits work. Check it out and tag our world on Sunday!

Boulder Jewish Festival is thrilled to announce Dan Nichols and Eighteen will be headlining this year’s entertainment lineup. Dan is one of the most popular and influential Jewish musicians in North America, performing over 200 concerts a year. His music has become an important part of the Reform Jewish movement, with synagogue youth and clergy alike incorporating it into their curriculum and services.

Also new on the Festival stage this year, Jeff Kagan performs a family-friendly set just after 11 am, sure to get kids involved and singing!

Rounding out the entertainment this year are ZADIK, Sheldon Sands and his band, The Boulder Klezmer Consort, and Or Zimrah, the band of Congregation Har HaShem. The Boulder Jewish Day School Choir will open the Festival. Click here for performance times (subject to change). See you on June 6!
