Things are moving in the right direction for beaver festival 2o23. June 24th. Mark those calendars. This week I had conversations with Amelia Hunter our talented artist who is going to paint the cover again. And with FRo Schmidt the lionhearted artist who is going to watercolor with children again. And with Laurie Rindell who has agreed to do our bid sheets for the silent auction assuming I get anything donated to it, The bookmarks are beautiful and the stamps are on their way so now its just down to tweaking things into place and starting the invitations.
For an art project this year we are going to invite children to paint their vision of the inside of the beaver lodge and give them each a big paper with a dome drawn into it. Doesn’t that sound fun? Kids are going to create such delightful things!
The grant application submitted and I have declared our intention to the city. That’s something like a good start right? Every year I am stunned to think how many little details I manage to see to the previous year and think I could never do it all again, but we’ll see what happens. It will certainly be the biggest beaver festival ever dedicated to their climate changing super powers.
I’m imagining something like this…
