The festival, sponsored by Houlihan Lawrence, was held at the hip-kid Lounge at 77 South Greeley Ave. in Chappaqua. Kids enjoyed a creative drawing workshop with Wells.

Kiwi Country Camp also provided a scavenger hunt, games and raffles.

Wells is best know for her work with Max and Ruby, which follows the everyday adventures of sibling bunnies.

"Houlihan Lawrence is proud to sponsor this event for the children of Chappaqua,'' said Barry Graziano, brokerage manager for the Houlihan Lawrence office in Chappaqua. "The children enjoyed their time with Rosemary and getting to know her. We loved being a part of it."
