2007
New
York, NY, January 14 2007 – Slings In The City, in
association with HotSlings®, presents the Second Annual
Babywearing Bonanza at the Hilton Times Square, 234 West
42nd Street, Sunday, January 21st
from
10:30 am-4:00 pm. The event is free and open to the
public.
Last year’s event drew expert and novice
babywearers alike, with attendees from throughout the
country. With the help of co-sponsors DivasNBabes®, Cxd
Baby®, and NY Metro Parents Magazine®, this year’s
expanded event will showcase corporate and independent
vendors from across the US and Canada.
Visitors are invited to try out various carrier styles
and fabrics to find what works best for them. In
addition, many experienced babywearing volunteers will be
on hand to answer carrier questions and provide
one-on-one assistance with carrying techniques. Extensive
information about the tips, tricks, and benefits of
babywearing will be available. Representatives from local
and international parenting organizations will be
providing additional parenting information and resources.
Slings In The City’s founder Bianca Fehn, who has
helped thousands get their start with babywearing and
runs her own on-line parenting products store, says
“This year’s Bonanza will be the biggest
babywearing and natural parenting event to hit the East
Coast. We hope to introduce many more people to the joys
and benefits of babywearing.”
There will be a Salsa Baby Workout demonstration,
do-it-yourself carrier making information, custom grab
bags at the door, a raffle of over $1000 worth of slings
and other products, and a babywearing fashion show.
Visitors are invited to browse and shop participating
vendors for babywearing and other parenting-related
products throughout the event.
