Wren’s Nest Fest 2010: Success!

---

Wren’s Nest Fest was this past Friday, June 11th, and I think the best word to describe it would be “bonkers.”

This is not because of the volunteers (hard-working and wonderful) –

nor the attractions (please — like miniature farm animals even know how to do anything besides be incredible) –

nor the entertainment (our clown also provides sno-cones and popcorn — it’s fool-proof).

Nope, this year was bonkers because we had a whopping 750 attendees.  You know how many that is?  A MILLION.

(Oh, you think that sentence didn’t make sense?  Try entertaining 750 people for 5 hours, including a woman who insists you bring in police to ensure no one cuts in line for lunch.  She is firmly holding your wrist the entire time.  Now you make your brain work.  I thought so.)

Each year, Wren’s Nest is this amazing combination of community support, gleeful small children, and fun times, with a healthy smattering of “you’re kidding me.”  In short, it earns one of the best naps of the year, period.  I might still be napping — I’m not sure.

Thanks again to everyone who helped out this year — we very literally could not do it without you.  Check out the pictures if you’ve got a minute.

We hosted Wren’s Nest Fest on Friday, and it was a great success.  Over 500 kids attended, and I didn’t see anyone crying.  Please, check out the pictures.

Why should you take a look?  Two words — miniature animals.  This rooster was the only normal-sized thing in attendance.

I’d like to thank Amelia for organizing Wren’s Nest Fest.  I’d also like to thank our fantastic volunteers for outstanding performances in cookie decorating, face painting, and moonbounce monitoring.  I’d also like to thank myself for taking the pictures — they are exquisite.

We couldn’t have done it without your help.
