Lincoln school had festive decorations and joyful sounds as kids and adults had fun during the Second Annual Midsummer Fest Satuday, June 20th. The wind and gray clouds threatened to dampen the fun but the cafeteria provided a safe haven from the winds and ocasional rain drops. People got face paintings of frogs and dolphins, made wreaths of flowers or feathers, while others had fun with beading, making earrings and necklaces. Huge bubbles scattered in the wind while some kids attempted to pop them before they were blown away.
The side walks were decorated with chalk drawings and kids were having fun with balloons which one parent attempted to make into balloon animals. Shirts were tie dyed and one girl attempted to learn a song on the guitar and then joined in with the silly songs led by the guitar player. A treasure hunt had kids racing across the field in search of clues.
They enjoyed finding the treasure chest and sharing their booty. One lone child braved the wind to paint on the outdoor easels. The Downtown Studio looks forward to making this a yearly Festival with dancing, music, games, workshops and storytelling. If you missed it this year, you have another chance for next year which is expected to be even better.
