[MR] Childrens Fete at Pennsic

[DCADENISE at aol.com]

Greetings 
How would you like to have  the time of your life at Pennsic? Laugh yourself 
silly, drink endless icy cold  lemonades on a hot day, play games until you're 
tired, then stop to be  entertained by a juggler or musician, create a little 
artwork sing a few songs  or learn a new skill?   There is one magical day at 
Pennsic when  every child can do all those things, and all in one place.  The 
Children's Fete is Wednesday, August  16th during Pennsic, in the Barn from 
1-4  PM.   
If you can help, for this one afternoon of Pennsic, the  children of the 
Known World will be so grateful. What better way to appear to be  a hero to those 
who need to see heroes in action?  
Over the years, hundreds of kids have participated in  that huge kid-friendly 
bash known as The Known World Children's Fete.  Here our Society's future, 
the children,  can have the fun they deserve on their summer vacation. With your 
help, the  children of Pennsic can continue to have a whale of a good time at 
the Fete. All  they need, to keep up this noble tradition of spending one 
afternoon on  children's pursuits is a little assistance from  you. 
Specific help is needed in these  areas: 
*Snacks and drinks 
*Sponsored Activities (face painters, fighters for the  boffer sword game, 
crafts, and more--families, households and Baronies are  welcome to sponsor 
these. If you need inspiration, please Email to ask for a  list of activities, to 
avoid duplicates) 
*Games (think up your own or sponsor a favorite--also a  good place for 
families, households, kingdoms, etc. to pitch  in) 
*"Floating" help, where and when it's needed, to help  keep the kids safe 
*Entry Table for children  sign-in 
*Set up and clean up (arrive at 11:30am for set up and back again from 4-5 or 
 so) 
and more....

their special day.
