Photos: Celebrate Shoreline is all about the kids

How many kids does it take to hold one corn snake?

Celebrate Shoreline, held Saturday in Cromwell Park, was all about the kids. Craft booths, pony rides, surfing, inflatables, and nothing says 'party' like a corn snake!

Ben Norton rides the pony

Pony rides were a special treat for our city kids - and there's a handler on the other end of the leading rein.

Pat the Bunny

The farm came to Shoreline, with a selection of bunnies for children to hold and pet.

Show your strength!

There was a modern day, kid-sized version of the old carnival game to test your strength - and the modern version isn't rigged!

Ride the Wave!

Inflatables galore

Half a dozen inflatables to choose from, and bounce on, including a faux carousel. 

The fire department was there with trucks and medic cars. Cotton candy made fresh while you watched.

King County Library volunteers

For the grown-ups there were lots of information booths - King County Library, Metro Transit, King County, Shoreline Council of Neighborhoods. Churches, businesses, preschools.

All of this, followed by a multi-band music concert from the amphitheatre on the grounds.

Happy 20th Birthday, Shoreline!
