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.

One of our 750 little visitors to to this event said “this is the best field trip ever.” Thanks, to all our visitors without which this event would not be a success. A special shout out to all our volunteers, chaperons, camp counselors, and great storytellers. Y’all come back again.
Wow. That’s all I can say. Way to go everyone. Your help and hard work is much appreciated! Everyone earned a long weekend of naps!
