[Artemisia] Melee Madness Childrens' Activities

[BENGTA1 at aol.com]

The plans so far are to have a pavilion or shade stand  wherein can be 
found all scheduled and ongoing youth activities.  In this  way, parents will be 
able to search for their youth in one spot and those of a  younger age can 
find age appropriate activities throughout the  day.
 
The formal (timed) activities will be as  follows:
 
1. An individual "quest" for information.  Forms for  this can be picked up 
at the gate and  completed any time before evening  court.  There is a fine 
and full prize chest being offered to the luck  winner who has the highest 
number complete answers  This will be awarded  at the end of the event at 
evening court.  
Be sure to be  there
 
There will also be a slightly more difficult team quest  which will 
tentatively start at 2 PM and end at around  4 PM.  The team will have to identify 
or draw certain devices  which will be at the event as well as identifying 
certain well known persons  present and performing pre-required tasks.  The 
winning team will receive  a large  basket overly full of candies and prizes 
enough to satisfy every  member of the team.
 
There will also be some youth combat activities offered and  overseen by 
Lord Padruig.  Timing on these activities will be announced  later and 
schedules may be rearranged  to accommodate the combat  activities.  Please remind 
all interested youth to bring their armor and  to make time to get it 
inspected prior to participating in the youth combat  activities.
 
All youth activities will be utilizing materials  which are advertised to 
be "washable", however, we will also be  offering extra large men's t-shirts 
as garb covers so that well made and  beautiful garb we don't want stained 
or otter wise ruined.
 
In addition to the "formal" activities, the  following:
 
Leather Working
Medieval Headpiece and nosegay creation
Clay Modeling
Shield Painting
Castle Painting
Art of all kinds including - Drawing, painting, watercolors,  
markers,crayons, oil Pastels, charcoals, colored pencils, chalk and easels.  (what fun we 
will have huh?)
 
Clay Modeling
Mancala
Bubbles
Kazoos
Soft Rocks
Plague Rats
Castle creation and siege
Origami
Planting and gardening
Hospitality Patrol
 
We will also have Hydration (water and koolaid) and modern  and medieval 
snacks as well as sunscreen and first aid kits available as  needed.  We would 
prefer not to have to use the latter but will have them  available just in 
case.  
 
We would invite any and all adults, esp. parents and  guardians to join us 
in our fun and in keeping us "legal" with enough adults  to oversee the 
activities  We can guarantee that you will have a fun  filled time no matter how 
much time you can spare.  There will be tables  and chairs and comfortable 
conversation areas set up for adults within the  area so come rest and relax 
while molding our next generation
