Wren’s Nest Fest Photo Extravaganza ’08
Below you’ll find a mere smattering of photos from yesterday’s Fest.
This also happens to be the visual explanation as to why every member of the Wren’s Nest staff was asleep by 8:42pm on a Friday night. Watch out!
Happy campers, literally.
Looking forward is for suckers.
Who doesn’t love coloring various Brer Animals? The fun police, that’s who.
If I were to guesstimate, I would say that approximately 18,000 children had their faces painted throughout the course of the day.
Surreal things: hearing small children robustly sing about shorty getting low low low low low low low low.
Our local friendly firemen and a rookie.
Storyteller Curtis taking flight.
Lain’s best friends. They bonded over tales of what they ate for breakfast and who has sisters (gross).
My best friend. We chatted pretty intently about the feet on his backpack/leash and my boo-boo.
Board member Handy serving as executive chef.
Bunnies! Ready for petting, but dear lord not for picking up. Their handler was not afraid to tell us all just how fragile bunnies are and how many die per celebrity appearance. And yes, now is a good time to cry in case you were wondering.
Volunteer Matt happily showing off his arm painting skills. Not just for faces anymore, folks.
A very adorable person showing off her worm-in-apple balloon animal. Pretty neat, huh.
And that’s the ballgame! We’ve got plenty more, and many are already posted on our Facebook page (be our fan!), but if you’re really being big babies about it, perhaps we’ll post more here.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to functioning like a zombie.

We had approximately 600 children and they enjoyed one great day on our grounds. Thank you staff for all the wonderful things that you do. This was the most people that we have ever had on the grounds at any one time. Mr. & Mrs. J.C. Harris were smiling on us today. I hope we can stand this success as we look forward to bigger Wren’s Nest Fest next year.
CONGRATULATIONS on another hugely successful WNF! Wish I could have been there to stuff my face with cupcakes and watch kids jump and twirl themselves into oblivion in the bouncy castle. Hope you’re taking it easy over there today ; )
Carson, you missed a great show, but we couldn’t have done it with all the hard work you put in last year! We basically did the same thing with an extra gimmick or two and things worked out just splendid.
There was only so much i could do this year.But to be able to witness the joy on the faces of these kids was too much i don’t think there was a single kid who didn’t enjoy themselves. Thanks to Amelia our program director, once again the Wrens Nest is a hit i’m very proud to be a staff member
It looks like the event was so much fun! I’m glad it went well and I really wish I could have been there – especially to play with the bunnies! Congrats guys – those kids look like they were having such a good time.
