Subject: ClydeFEST 2013 – The Countdown is On!
Mark your calendars for ClydeFEST 2013 at the Bynum Ballfield on Saturday, April 6th from 11-4 (rain date Sunday, April 7th from 1-5).
This annual kids’ carnival celebrates all things folk-art and fun, with games, music, art, food, prizes, a critter auction and much more – and of course wouldn’t be complete without a live critter carving by Clyde Jones himself. The full lineup is online and includes stilt walker, critter painting, photo ops galore, raffle and gorgeous games for kids of all ages.
This seriously is the BEST kids’ fest in the area – where else do giant African tortoises get to hang out alongside Senegalese drummers?
Check out pictures are more from last year’s event at www.chathamarts.org and sign up to our Facebook page to join in on the upcoming “Clyde’s Crazy Critter Caper” – with prizes!
We are also in need of LOTS of volunteers to help staff the event too: contact or go to www.chathamarts.org if you can help us out.
We want to break attendance records this year so we’re pulling out all the stops! Hope to see you there.
