PICS FROM INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

Here are a few photos of the girls at International Festival.  

I think they did Ireland proud!  :)

INFO REGARDING International Festival

The event is from 2-5 at the Newton County College & Career Center.  The address is 144 Ram Drive, Covington (it's off Brown Bridge behind the high school).  Please arrive at 1:30 (or as close to it as possible) so we can be set up when the event begins at 2.  :)

 The girls will dress in traditional Irish peasant dress from the medieval time period..  Above is the look we're going for.  The green "overdress" is completed and I will bring it to the event.  (Not nearly as cute as this picture, but it'll do. LOL)  Girls should wear the longest skirt/dress they have and long sleeves, solid colors if possible; tights & mary janes/ dress shoes.  (I realize this is the ideal- do whatever you have in the closet that is the closest!)
The girls have made headbands similar to those worn by Irish dancers.  I will bring them as well.  These are usually worn with wigs of abundant curly hair.  I'm going to roll Abby's hair on foam rollers and have her sleep on them- then take them out and put her hair up in the morning- to get the closest look.  AGAIN, this is ideal- do whatever works for you.  (I'm aware that we're mixing two styles/time periods here... just go with it.  LOL)

Faith's grandma will be making traditional Irish Bread Pudding for us to share with the other festival participants.  :)  THANK YOU!!

THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN FOR ALL !!  :)

The event itself will consist of a brief period of presentations (dances, songs, etc.) onstage, then everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to visit each country's table to learn about them, trade S.W.A.P.S., try the food, etc. We will need to have girls to "man the station" for the entire event.  Please don't plan to stop in and leave right away.

Thanks for all your support!
