[Artemisia] Toys for Tots event

[Karina Tucker]

It's never too early to start collecting toys!
New this year: a prize to the individual who brings the most toys and
another to the group who donates the most toys. Who will earn bragging
rights?


   - We invite you to join The Province of Arrow’s Flight on November 9,
   2013, for Toys For Tots, our Signature Event devoted to generosity,
   history, fairy tales, and the child in all of us.

   Rapunzel, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, The Goose who laid the Golden Egg,
   Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. The stories charm every child anew and yet
   are timeless. Legend goes that Emperor Constantine’s mother Bertrada of
   Laon was called Regina pede ancae or “Queen Goosefoot.” She was known for
   her stories and love of children and as her tale evolved the nickname
   shifted to “Mere l’Oye” or Mother Goose. 16th century Italy finds the first
   publication of The Pleasant Nights by Giovanni Straparola and The Story of
   Stories by Gianbattista Basile where old tales, including those just
   mentioned, are first collected and published.

   Bring your favorite tales to tell for the bardic and participate in
   storytelling and crafts based on stories throughout the day. Participate in
   our I Spy scavenger hunt, finding characters and treasures hidden in the
   stained glass decor. Youth, heavy, and rapier fighters can save the fair
   maiden, foil the dastardly witch, and create their own legends in scenarios
   based on classic stories. While away the afternoon by attending some
   wonderful classes on fairy tale subjects, or teach your own, then end the
   day with a sumptuous feast featuring subtleties like 4 and 20 blackbirds
   baked in a pie and Cinderella's Coach as well as seasonal favorites like
   gingerbread and baked apples.

   Also planned: lunch fundraiser, youth activities, contests, games,
   prizes, and more. Watch for details!
