Volunteers for PBS Kids Fiesta

The PBS Kids Fiesta is an annual event hosted by KCOS aimed at providing a fun environment for families and children to have access to important educational resources. While families check out the several booths that promote healthy child development and early childhood literacy, they can also watch some amazing performances by local performers.
