Disney’s Cinderella and Frozen Fever hits theaters Friday, and one local candy and gift store wants to celebrate all week.

Jeff Darby and his wife have owned Sweet Tooth Candy & Gift Company for 22 years, so they know a thing or two about what children like.

“Frozen has been very popular, obviously, since the movie first came out,” Darby said.

Their daughter, now 36, has been collecting Cinderella items since she was a child.

“So when the live action movie came in and, paired with the Frozen Fever short film, we thought this would be a great time to have people come in and have a good time with it,” Darby said.

Beginning Monday, the Sweet Tooth Candy & Gift Company in Tulsa is inviting children aged 3 to 12 to dress up as their favorite Cinderella or Frozen character and stop by the shop for a free goodie bag and a chance to win two tickets to see Cinderella in theaters.

“If kids come in and they aren’t wearing something, if they know part of the song they can sing that to us also,” Darby said. “Which I think every kid knows.”

Kids can also bring a book or prop from one of the two stories to be eligible to win.

Sweet Tooth staff will take pictures of all the children who participate, with their parent's permission, and post them on the Sweet Tooth Facebook page.

The biggest celebration for the kids comes Saturday, with the free Sweet Tooth Cinderella and Frozen Party from 3 to 5 p.m. There will be party favors, cookies to decorate, coloring pages to color and even a visit from a princess and prince.

The drawing for movie tickets will be at the end of the party. The winner need not be present to receive the tickets.
