Show HILLTOP TIMES TIMES August 7, 2008 LIVE From page 1 ous political affiliations." So they gathered the information they received from the Talk, Listen, Connect sites and set out targeting the biggest bases and those with the highest demands from deployments. Their performances entertain and educate the children while having fun at the same time. It came as no surprise that the auditorium, filled nearly to capacity, rose to their feet the moment the Muppets stepped on stage. Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters of all ages had smiles on their faces as familiar friends and TV heroes came to life before them with a message of coping and being a good son or daughter while mommy or daddy was gone. "They did a great job by keeping the children connected and interactive," said Stephanie Hern, family childcare coordinator for Hill Air Force Base. "The children were very excited and animated during the show." By keeping it simple and age-appropriate, a message was conveyed to the children and ideas and activities were presented to the parents as well. Through information provided by the Airman and Family Readiness Center and the show, parents and children can fully prepare themselves as much as possible to ease the transitions that occur from reoccurring deployments and homecomings.
