Give your kids a cultural treat this weekend
Posted 11-12-2009 at 09:05 PM by Jennifer Steele Saunders
It appears that some of the gorgeous Monarch butterflies want to stick around for the great weather this weekend!
Or perhaps they want to stay for the CAA's Flutterby Festival that will take place in their honor both Saturday and Sunday in WaterColor's Marina Park, along with a fabulous Fall & Winter Market.
This event originated seventeen years ago as a fundraiser for Walton County children to receive scholarships for supplemental arts education. It also celebrates the migration of the Monarch through our region.
Kids can enjoy yoga, puppet shows, storytelling, puppet making, butterfly garden tours, butterfly wing making, hula hoops, trail hikes, face painting, animal encounters, fun music and more while their parents shop in the cool artist market and partake of seasonal food and libations!
Flutterby is free and open to the public. Some activities require a small fee, though.
We will be featuring Sophia Blair, a 3rd grader at Butler Elementary School, whose yoga butterfly artwork was chosen as the 2010 Flutterby poster/t-shirt winner! Sophia will receive a $100 savings bond from Wachovia.
Two runners up will receive a $50 savings bond, and six students will also receive the same, along with the distinguished People's Choice Award.
All winners will be announced the Saturday of the Flutterby Festival.
T-shirts will be for sale for $15 and wings for $5.
It will be a beautiful, fun, relaxing weekend!
