Fred Penner Receives Parents' Choice Award
Popular Winnipeg family entertainer, Fred Penner, will be adding another award to the vast collection that he has amassed over the years. Penners latest CD, Sing with Fred, received a 2002 Parents Choice Award last week. Many entries were received by the Parents Choice Foundation, and Sing with Fred was chosen as one of the best.
The amount of warmth and affection that I receive from the audiences is really what keeps me going and gives me a purpose. I count my blessings every day that Im actually allowed to be an entertainer, says Penner. To me, this is the most important work in the world. As an entertainer, I have a responsibility to my audience; to be a role model to look up to.
