KiD to KiD of Peoria will hold a Webkinz Day Extravaganza event April 25th through April 27th in preparation for Webkinz Day on April 29th. The store is located on 13644 North and 75th Ave. in Peoria.
KiD to KiD of Peoria is a children's resale franchise owned by Deron and Michelle Luzar & is a local retailer of the Webkinz product.
The Ganz Company released the Webkinz product in 2005. Each stuffed animal (Webkinz) comes with access to "Webkinz World". "Webkinz World" is a website that contains a virtual version of the stuffed animal and its world. Owners are allowed to play, build & nurture their own animal as well as interact with other WebKinz.
"Webkinz world gives children a safe place to play on the internet. Children can build & nurture their animals & safely 'chat' with other WebKinz using per constructed messaging," said Deron.
Webkinz World was recently awarded the Best of the Web Award from the largest Internet safety & help group in the worth, wiredsafety.org.
"There will be family fun events, games and prizes for Webkinz fans of all ages. In addition to all of the events, Webkinz pets will be given out to the first 500 customers who make a minimum $10 purchase of any item from the store," said Michelle.
Some of the weekend events include the Jellybean Challenge, Coloring Pictures, Wishing Well & the Wheel of Wow.
