Just for kids! Fun and free during Week of Summer Fun

PLANO, Texas. (June 30, 2009) The Shops at Willow Bend invites children to stop by from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14 and make their own pizza with the chefs at California Pizza Kitchen (CPK). Kids can pile on the sauce, pepperoni and cheese to their own special liking and then enjoy the treat when it’s hot and fresh from the oven.

While their pizzas are in the oven, the little chefs can have fun decorating a CPK pizza box, which The Shops at Willow Bend will display in the shopping center for all visitors to enjoy. Create-a-CPK-pizza is free for all children and will be in Macy’s Court.

On a wellness note, representatives from Medical Center of Plano will be on hand to demonstrate the art and science of hand washing.
