Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Adds Children to the Mix with 'Fun and Fit as a Family': First of Its Kind Initiative Addressin

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (Business Wire EON) December 18, 2007 -- Taking place February 23rd - 24th, at Jungle Island, Miami's premiere theme park, the Fun and Fit as a Family "mini-festival" within the main festival will bring together some of the world's greatest celebrity chefs and personalities, health professionals and fitness experts to educate children and their parents about how to adopt healthier, more active lifestyles.

In partnership with The Parent Academy of Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Share Our Strength's Operation Frontline, Fun and Fit as a Family will welcome families with school-aged children to two days of interactive educational activities that showcase fun ways to exercise and make healthier food choices. This grassroots campaign will also serve to contribute to a school-based healthy lifestyle initiative and after-school program to improve overall academic performance and reduce rates of childhood obesity.

Fun and Fit as a Family Weekend program highlights include:

-- Healthy cooking demonstrations led by Food Network's Rachael Ray, Jamie Oliver, Tyler Florence, Ellie Krieger and Robin Miller as well as well known chefs Art Smith and Allen Susser.

-- The Children's Sustainable Food Garden presented by Agatston Research Foundation and the 2008 South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Fun and Fit as a Family will give children the opportunity to explore, touch, smell and taste fruits, vegetables and herbs from the garden while learning from garden guides.

-- Team sports, life-long fitness skill building activities like Pilates and fitness challenges.

-- Food Labs where families don aprons and get their hands messy with local chefs as they experience an extra-sensory understanding of the five major food groups.

-- Parents and children can also walk from food station to food station, trying nutritious snacks and drinks prepared by health-conscious exhibitors, and learn about new products and projects aimed at a healthy lifestyle.

-- Interactive exhibits including heart rate and calorie burning monitoring.

Fun and Fit as a Family promises to be a family-oriented weekend where education is thoroughly mixed with entertainment, whisked by exercise and topped by a new understanding about nutritious eating and healthy living.
