Various segments of the show were tactfully engineered to methodically break the 4th wall, allowing the children to become more immersed by asking the puppets questions about diabetes. Following the puppet show, the children were led away from the gymnasium by group into the dining area. Many parents attended the dinner with their child. The dinner was prepared by Wanda Nevins as well as others. The ingredients for the meal were provided by Houchens Industries and Perdue.
