A free supper and an attrac- tive’ bow-tie could be yours on August 4, if you volunteer for the Terrace Children’s Festival. ‘We priorize our volunteers,” organizer Lori Merrill - says. ‘*They’re well taken care of.” . There-will be a volunteer tent to help organize and direct the ac- . tivities of the growing. festival and the approximately 50 volunteers needed. to run the Sunday afternoon family fair. The volunteers wear bow-ties for the day for recognition of their. contribution and so that people » know who to ask questions. _ This is the fifth year the non- profit, non-commercial Chil- dren’s Festival Committee has put on the event. ‘“We operate under three principles,’? com- mittee member Elizabeth Snyder says. ‘‘Everything’s free, children participate, and it’s fun. 33 . This year’s attractions include a free concession stand with popcorn (supplied by the. Ter- race Little Theatre) and juice.

Last year’s hand mural went over well, so this year . children’s footprints will decorate a mural. A stilt-making workshop should prove to be lots of fun, as should the im-— agination workshop. _ “A company that provides recycled items like the confetti -you get from paper punchers will supply materials from the workshop,’? Snyder says. ‘We're also hoping to buy materials making,’” Through the Coffeehouse Society, the Children’s Festival received $500 from the Terrace _ Arts Council.
