Katie Beth and other children with the help of the staff put on a puppet play of Hansel and Gretel.  It was funny seeing the children’s effort.

Huntsville Stars’ Announcer

Katie Beth Allen Announcing for Huntsville StarsKatie Beth had a blast being the Huntsville Stars’ Announcer tonight.

As part of being an announcer, she also received a McDonald’s t-shirt and McDonald’s Happy Meal.

What a fun night as friends were texting me while Katie Beth was making announcements! They heard her voice and knew it was her.

She enjoyed her Happy Meal even more than announcing I think.Free Happy MealHappy Meal and Katie Beth You can see more photos here. The username and password are “friends” and “photos”.
