Children's Festival in My City

.

One day a year our high school gymnasium is converted into a Children's Festival site.

Today (Saturday) was that day.


Area businesses, schools, and churches set up booths all over the gym.

I took these photos just before the crowds descended.


This was the booth sponsored by our church - - - children could make egg crate caterpillars and sign up to win a handmade quilt.


Most booths offered a game or a craft for children. This green frog face is what kids could make at the library booth.


There was even a desert oasis - - - of sorts.


Once the festival was open for business, the crowds began to descend - - -


And the children got busy crafting their crafts and playing their games.


All kinds of interesting "folk" put in an appearance. Oscar the grouch in his shiny can,


A fairy, a princess, and some kind of imaginary insect creature to name just a few.


Don't forget your veggies and fruit!

I believe a fun day was had by all - - - I only saw a tear or two when crafts didn't "cooperate" with little hands.
