"Shaking in Our Boots - Helping Earthquake Victims Worldwide"
	Children, old and young, there is excitement waiting for you at the 2010 Children's Festival! The festival will kick off Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with the "Children's Stuff Auction" with exciting items like admission passes, sports tickets, and fun stuff. After the auction our activity booths will open. For every $5 "Fun Pass" you buy you will be able to enjoy 12 activities. In addition there will be rope making, school kits, and other things to purchase.

Learn more at www.pennypower.org __________________________________________________ Every penny counts! All proceeds for the Kid's Stuff Auction, Penny Power, and Children's Festival will go directly to aid earthquake victims.
___________________________________________________ Old boots (not just cowboy boots) will be used to collect pennies and decorate booths. You can begin collecting any boots that are no longer used. Holes and scuff marks are accepted - no, they are encouraged! No sizes are too big or too small! This is a great way to get rid of those boots that can no longer be worn. The boots will be a key part of this year's celebration. The more the merrier!
Church and Civic groups, Sunday School classes and families - we need your help to create and man either a craft or activity booth. Be a witness for God's love for His people. See how you can help.
