Mexico's Children's Day Celebrated with "The Way to Happiness" and "Cri-Cri" Festival for Hispanic Children in Hollywood

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2011

Children's Day was celebrated with a free "Cri-Cri" festival spectacular for children of all ages from the Hollywood area. Held on L. Ron Hubbard Way, over 150 children and guests of all ages were treated to songs, acts and plays based on the fictional character "Cri-Cri" in celebration of Mexico's Children's Day.

Host and Emcee, Francisco Sanz Polo, 1st Grandson of the creator of ?Cri-Cri? (Francisco Gabilondo Soler) introduced the original cartoons of the ?Cri-Cri? character to the children in attendance which was followed by a live enactment of a dozen acts from the "Cri-Cri" musicals.

The event was entertaining and also educational with film showings of "The Way to Happiness," (a common sense moral guide to better living containing 21 precepts) which included such precepts as "Love and Help Children," "Be Industrious" and "Try to Treat Others as You Would Want Them to Treat You." After the event "Cri Cri" posed with characters and children who each received their own photograph with the character and a copy of "The Way to Happiness" booklet.
