This zone is focused on Dad! Dads-to-be learn all about the “baby journey,” as told through eyes of a father. Dads can strap on a “pregnancy belly” and run the Daddy Obstacle Course to compete for special prizes. Or let mom snap a picture on her phone to show her friends! Families Matter-Dynamic Dad Workshops is the sponsor of this zone and will be on hand to give out great information on how to care for crying babies and crying moms, as well as how to cope with this new phase of your life.
