The annual Catholic Marketing Network (CMN) Trade Show will feature a special section for children this year.

To be held for the 15th year, Aug. 2-5, the event will include a “Future Saints” area on the exhibition floor, specially designed for children and featuring activities for youngsters throughout the event at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel and Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, Pa., near Philadelphia.

The show brings together Catholic book and gift stores from across the country, “and many bring their families,” said CMN President Alan Napleton. Among the events planned for children is a daily appearance by Rob Evans, “The Donut Man,” who has hosted a long-running children's show on the Eternal Word Television Network.

The CMN show will include an exhibit floor featuring Catholic books, jewelry and art, and services. For more information, click here.
