CHILDREN'S INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL
We were invited to participate in the Childrens International Festival this past weekend at the National Park Services' Wolf Trap Farm Park. Our booth was located in the technology pavilion backstage in the Filene Center. The Filene Center is is the huge outdoor/indoor theater where major arts/music productions are done over the Summer at Wolf Trap. Very interesting place! If you are a theater nut you would have loved looking around. Also, if you are in the DC area during the Summer months, Wolf Trap is an excellent venue for entertainment of the highest caliber.
The attached picture shows children creating with GollyGee Blocks® (sorry for the poor resolution from my phone camera). We had pre-schoolers to sixth graders mainly. Along the way we collected over 100 scenes of their creations which I hope to be featuring somehow on some website. The biggest problem we had during the show was getting the kids working on the computer to let another child have a turn. They all wanted to create.
The festival took place on Saturday and Sunday and the weather was hot, sticky and still. Temps inside the pavilion were probably in the high 90's. Still, all in all, the show was a big success.
