| After a very successful three days, Queen Cameron closed the festival. |
I cannot believe it's over!
All that fun, and all that wonderful weather just
FOR THE CHILDREN!
The 2011 Children's Festival's theme, "Read Around The World", encouraged kids to see, do, and explore arts and crafts and activities designed with children in mind. The scene was wonderful to observe.
I spent three enjoyable sessons at the Lost Parent's Tree and was fortunate to have dear friends from the Storytelling Guild and Children's Festivals past join me. These were:
Karin Dailey, Lynn Kellogg, Sue Dalke, Cathy Theen, Becky Versteeg, Peggy Tomlins, Marilyn Gradwell, Bonnie Hall, Linda Higgins, Andrea Mobley, Susie Wright, and Darla Foley. (I missed attending on Tuesday Morning because I was teaching a watercolor class). Former Festival Queens, Diane Newland and Karen Foster were sitting at Lost Parent's Tree location then.
The tree, by the way isn't a tree at all but the sound tower for the Britt Stage. It is perfectly situated right in the center of everything on the upper hill. From our vantage point we have coveted center stage seating for the performances and looking around we can see the upper hill down to Storytelling Tree, etc. We cannot see Mother Goose Land from there but Queen Cameron and her attendants stopped by to say hello and to tell us all was well in Mother Goose Land!
