ok, folks, the big day approaches: soon our Northern
Hemisphere will experience the longest period of
continuous sunlight in the last 365, and we will
attempt to match this energy with our own by gathering
in and around the "bowl" of Clark Park on the Saturday
previous to that longest day (so we'll be gathering at
the end of *this* week, since it's not gonna rain).
Artisinal vendors, community groups, food, and 9 hours
of programming: for a complete line-up of performers,
see www.myspace.com/clarkparkfest
Posters will be coming soon, but in the meantime,
flyers can be found on my porch at 1002 South 49th
Street, &/or posted in your local coffe shop. Our
poster theme is "The Tale of the Peg-Legged Rabbit."
I am very pleased that Mlanjeni's Magical Theater has
agreed to perform as our opener at 11am. For more
info about what they do, go to www.mlanjeni.com, and
click on "MUUNGAMANO"
It takes a lot of work to make a day like this
successful, and there's still time to do your part:
everything from getting together at 8am to transport
and set up the stage (vehicles, drivers, and laborers
needed), to working with children one-on-one, enabling
their artistic expression through face-painting &
crafts (two 3'x6' tables needed, one for Children's
Activities, one to hold food for the performers), to
being careful to dispose of trash responsibly when you
leave the park.
You don't need to let me know you're planning on
taking your trash home with you, but if you'd like to
help out with Children's Activities (by donating or
volunteering), please contact Kirsten Doyle at
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 215-432-2630. We also
need things like clean water for face-painting, paper
towels, and the like. For other matters, especially
to donate a table as described above and to help with
transportation of the stage, please get in touch with
me, Jed McKee, at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or
267-243-3841
It is free to set up an information table for your
community group. (Preferred) check-in time is
10am-11am on Saturday, June 16th. We prefer you
contact Lora Patton, our Vendor Co-ordinator, ahead of
time, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 610-453-4556,
so we know how many people to expect. You may also
reserve a vending spot (to sell merchandise) by
contacting Lora: preconfirmed spots are $15, payable
at check-in. Walk-up vending spots are $20, subject
to available space.
Please forward this email to any interested parties,
and post widely.
Thank You!
Jed McKee, 2007 Festival Co-ordinator,
Clark Park Music & Arts Community.
Here's to a great Festival!
