Known World Children's Fete
Wed., August 8, 1 - 4 pm in the Barn

The Fete will have a variety of arts and crafts, ongoing activities and live performances to amuse and delight. We may be having some activities that involve water, so please make sure your young ones are dressed appropriately. There will be light snacks and drinks available for children and their parents.

The Fete is designed for children ages four and up. Children ages four, five and six must have an adult (or teen who is at least 14 years old) remain with them throughout the festivities. Older children should be checked on periodically by parents or guardians to ensure their safety and suitable behavior.

Parents and guardians please note that if your child has food allergies or other health issues that they are unable to manage or if they may not leave the party unescorted, you should remain with your child at the Fete. Due to the large numbers of children that attend the Fete, organizers cannot be responsible for these issues. The parent or guardian's location during the party must be given as children come through check-in at the Fete. We ask that children do not bring personal articles with them while attending the Children's Fete, as the organizers will not be responsible for lost, broken or stolen items.

Volunteers Needed!

We are seeking the help of volunteers with this year's Fete. If you can sing a song, dance a jig, paint a face, smile and laugh a lot, color a picture, have fun or any sort of other activities, then we could use you! We are truly in need of individuals or groups that can offer their time to run and/or sponsor activities (arts and crafts, games, dancing, supplies, prizes, etc.). Some of the popular activities are:

• Face painting
• Foam sword play (We need human pells who die well!)
• Storytellers
• Jugglers
• Puppeteers

We are also looking for volunteers to:

• Sign in children
• Make sure the other volunteers are getting water and refreshments
• Work as security to ensure registration/sign-in and safety
• Assist with set-up and/or break-down

We can never have too many people helping! Volunteers should arrive at the barn at 12:30 pm. You do not have to be there for the entire 3 hours, but any help you may offer would be greatly appreciated. We are also requesting that Fete volunteers wear pink during the Fete in honor of Duchess Arielle the Golden, the founder of the Known World Children's Fete.

If you cannot physically volunteer at the Fete but you, your household, Barony or local group would still like to help, contact us about sponsoring an activity.
