THE STORYTELLING GUILD PRESENTS THEIR 45TH ANNUAL CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL AT THE BRITT FESTIVAL GROUNDS IN JACKSONVILLE – July 10-12, 2011
Get ready for an adventure! You won’t want to miss the 45th Annual Children’s Festival as this year takes us around the world with our “Read Around the World!” theme. Sponsored by the Storytelling Guild of Jackson County, this innovative 3 day event will take place July 10-12 at the Britt Festival Grounds in Jacksonville and will bring out the creativity of both the young and young at heart as it has for generations.
This “just for kids” event has served as an affordable summertime experience in the Rogue Valley for generations. Admission to the Children’s Festival remains very low at $2.00 per person. Children can enjoy hours of entertainment with many imagination themed activities. There are over 35 hands on art, craft, science projects, and of course, the dialing feeding of the letter-eating dragons, Rosabelle and Pebbles! Older children will enjoy candle making, pottery and wood working, while younger children will have a chance to make their own puppet, sand and easel art, and have faces painted. The whole family can also look forward to child-focused stage performances and yummy food from our Dragon Deli.
The festival runs a total of 4 general sessions over a 3-day period:
Sunday, July 10 – Session 1: 5:30-8:30pm Evening Session
Monday, July 11 – Session 2: 9am until noon Morning Session
– Session 3: 6:00-8:30pm Evening Session
Tuesday, July 12 – Session 4: 9am until noon Morning Session
