Bellevue Winter Carnival has 'Frozen' theme

BELLEVUE – "Anna" and "Elsa," the sister princesses from Disney's megahit "Frozen," are coming to Bellevue's Fairfield Avenue on Saturday, Feb. 21.

The princess characters are part of the family-friendly entertainment during Bellevue's first-ever Winter Carnival, a magical day that will include a chance for kids to have their pictures taken with "Anna" and "Elsa" at Witt's End Candy Emporium.

Sponsored by Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky and Cleves and Lonnemann Jewelers, Winter Carnival is a new Shop Bellevue Third Saturday event with the fun taking place – indoors and out – from noon to 4 p.m.

In additional to appearances by "Anna" and "Elsa" (noon to 2 p.m.), well-known magician Paul Dalholt (aka Presto Paul) will be performing tableside magic tricks at Bellevue restaurants (1-2:15 p.m.) including Avenue Brew, Twisted Sisters and Siam Orchid.

Local balloon artist Greg Wilson will be on hand from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and several face painters will be stationed in different shops during carnival hours.

Expect to find the shops along Historic Fairfield Avenue decorated for the Winter Carnival theme and offering Winter Carnival and/or Disney's "Frozen"-related merchandise and menu items. In-store fun and games include decorating "Frozen" cookies at Circle of Hope Artisans, a snow ball toss at Le Sorelle Women's Clothing, a Snowman Poke for a prize at Interior Visions and a 2:15 p.m. showing of Disney's "Frozen" at Witt's End Candy Emporium.

Winter Carnival is free and open to the public. Pick up a map and schedule of events from Fairfield Avenue shops and restaurants. Check the www.ShopBellevue.ky.com website for more details and updates about Winter Carnival 2015.
