The KidsView of Red Wing Program began at the Annual Convention in 2000. Due to its popularity, a MidWinter GetTogether KidsView began in 2007. KidsView is for children ages 3 to 15 years of age. Its goal is to educate and stimulate the youth of the RWCS, as they are the next generation of collectors. Each year the participants are offered a jam packed schedule of events. Some of the topics in years past have included:

• Make Your Own Stoneware
• Auction, both Silent and Bidding interactive with "Red Wing bucks". All pieces are donated by our generous members!
• Paint a real Red Wing Plate, just as it was done in the Pottery
• Starting a collection and show your display
• Living history presentations

For more information please contact Sue Jones Tagliapietra or Wendy Callicoat, the KidsView Program Coordinators.
