What we're doing there
We're filming. The puppets are coming. We'll be running a Reel Kidz demo, and you can sign a young person up on the spot. If you've been meaning to ask us how any of this works, this is the easiest place to do it.
About the day
Now in its sixth year, Russell Rocks the Block is presented by Russell Family Enterprises. It's a free community celebration with a job fair, health screenings, voter registration, a community resource fair, a vendor marketplace, food, music, a bouncy house and a special guest.
