Inaugural Kid's Event a great success
David took the lead in hosting the fun night of bowling, prizes and food. Also in attendance were figure skater Sarah Hughes, Mets General Manager Omar Minaya, actress Rosie Perez, actor Mike Myers and crowd favorite Mr. Met.
Carolina from the Z100 Morning Zoo and DJ Spinbad kept everyone entertained with their non-stop music and great trivia games. The Z100 Party Patrol was also on hand to add to the festivity and help hand out the prizes which included an Xbox 360, digital cameras, an MP3 player and much more.
Undoubtedly, the event was a tremendous success. Smiles could be seen throughout the facility from beginning to end.
"It's great to have a chance to spend time on an off day with all these great kids," said Wright, who himself could be seen having a great time bowling strikes on the lanes.
Adding to the festive atmosphere were the limitless supply of drinks provided by VitaminWater, the special tower of cupcakes provided by Eleni's as well as the balloon sculptures and decorations provided by Unique Balloons.
