Fun rides, tattoo, attractive games, music, magic show, and a lot of fun was on the platter and each one of the Twinkle Club members enjoyed each one of the offerings thoroughly. Various rides like Carousel, Cart Train, Cartoon Train, Sun-n-Moon, Caterpillar, Skycopter, Columbus, Bull Ride, Ocean Bumper, Crazy Swinger, Rocking Helicopter etc attracted the kids and their joyous shrieks filled the atmosphere. It goes without saying that the parents, who accompanied the kids, also enjoyed watching their lovely angels soak in laughter.
Magic Show presented by a young magician astonished all viewers on the other side of the stage. There was no age bar for participation in competitions conducted by the anchors for Twinkle Club members. Ansh, a mimic artist, also received lot of appreciation on his jokes from the audience.
The foot-tapping numbers on the dance floor added further value to the mood of all present there. With the latest popular Bollywood songs played by DJ, children danced wherever they were. Soon, they got attracted to the dance floor and demonstrated how beautiful spontaneous dance steps could be. Kids rocked the stage on various movie songs along with their friends. In fact, many even made new friends on the dance floor.
Neha and Lucky Khan, who anchored the show, also hosted various instant games like singing, solo dance, non-stop talk, and much more. Non-stop talk evoked laughter from the audience. But, each event also had some more to offer -- prizes. The winners bagged attractive gifts and prizes.
In various games, the participants included their parents too, which made it more competitive. It was wonderful to see the chemistry of kids and their parents, and the tasks they performed with superb co-ordination that was a result of a natural bonding. Though there were games, everybody won. Everybody won the trophy of love and sweet memories of spending quality time with each other. Of course, many parents and kids thanked 'The Hitavada' Twinkle Club for providing them the opportunity to make their Sunday special.
After dance, song, fun rides, games and a whole lot of fun, the little 'Twinkle Stars' naturally moved towards delicious food. Having food with parents is sheer joy for children in today's world when routine does not permit such opportunities daily to many. And, this aspect made food a fun-filled affair. Wada Pav, sandwiches, South Indian food, ice cream, soft drinks etc offered by Haldiram's at various stalls, found too many takers. After the food, again, the energetic crowd of children wanted another round of games. A special Game Zone was there in which Throw Game, Tattoo, and Ring Game entertained children.
