KidZone at Midsummer III

The crazy awesome (and awesomely crazy because this is a mad amount of work they've put into this already) volunteers (I said they were crazy!) running our KidZone this year have released the following announcement:

Regarding Midsummer III KidZone:

Hours of Operation will be Saturday only from 10:00 AM to Noon, closing for lunch and opening again at 12:45 PM and running until 3:45 PM for the ceremony and the rest of the night's activities.

We will have 2-3 levels of difficulty for the nature scavenger hunt and there will be water balloons, a hula hoop contest, rock painting, stick nature looms, and lots of coloring pages for the ones that want to rest in the shade. Ages 3-11 welcome. Parents should provide water, sunblock, bug spray, and snacks.

We may take the kids to play in the water to parents should plan for that too!! (WATER SHOES ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED BECAUSE OF OYSTERS)

THERE WILL BE A SIGN-IN SHEET AT THE KIDZONE FOR SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.

Event Announcement: Fire and Feathers!

Do you like fire? Do you like dancing? Then I hope you'll stay late to watch the amazing, anticipated, awesome presentation by Willow of Fire and Feathers!

(I might have just whooped a little bit and startled the Pagan Puppy who is trying to nap while I type updates.... oops.)

Vendor and Event Announcement: Champion of Fate!

Vendor AND Event Announcement: Champion of Fate!

LARP-style melee with awesome toys... I mean... LARP weapons! (Real ones aren't allowed, read the site rules)

These tournament style events are loads of fun to participate in or to watch. Sign up for the tournament will open the same time as the event and you will have to sign up (and sign the waiver) to participate. If you opt to rent a weapon then you'll be able to practice with your friends before the tournament. There is a fee to participate in this event and it is cash only, but the fee is tiny ($5) and goes to the cost of building, repairing, and replacing the equipment that you'll be using.

There will be options to purchase these LARP style weapons for those who are interested.
