The Crawl for Kids is open to babies from the ages of five to 15 months, and is sponsored by Babies in the '80s, McDonald’s Restaurants and 97 Kiss FM.

Marilyn Taylor, organizer of Babies in the ’80s forum, said last year’s Craw! for Kids attracted about 2,000 participants.

She said the contest is to help increase public awareness for the Babies in the '80s forum, to be held at Robson Square Media Cen- tre Oct. 3. She said it’s also a fund raising event, with donations going to Vancouver’s Ronald McDonald House — a home away from home for families of seriously ill children.

‘It’s a forum, a fair, and a public market for everything from bibs to bonds.

“In fact, it is effectively the only place in Canada to find out vir- tually everything you ever wanted to know about prenatal, postnatal, baby and kid care all under one roof.”’

Some of the subjects to be dealt with at the forum include street- Proofing your child, college fees in 20 years time, administering infant CPR, and Systematic Training for Effective Parenting.

More than 50 exhibitors will be on hand to showcase their pro- ducts and services.

From the North Shore the exhib- itors will include B.C. Play Things,

-Poppins, Kidco, Rocking Horse Dreams, Creative Kidstuff, Cherub Collections, Shoppers Drug Mart, Children’s Hour, Van City and Speedy Muffler King’s Little Somebody Program.
