July 5, 2007 MIDDFEST INTERNATIONAL SEEKS ITEMS FOR YOUTH PARK PROJECT Every year Middfest International features a different country. And each year, the projects spotlighting the featured country require different items from the community to build the displays specific to that particular culture. This year, the featured country is The Netherlands and the ever-popular Youth Park area will bear the theme "Storks and Wagon Wheels," with games and entertainment for young people centered around the children's story relating how, in The Netherlands, it is lucky to have a stork nest on the roof. To encourage that nesting stork, a wagon wheel is placed on the roof to provide a base for the nest. Storks are migratory birds who winter in Africa and nest and raise their young in The Netherlands. To build the displays and provide the raw materials for the children's games volunteers are asking for the use of several items: A small salesman's wagon that might have been pulled from town to town selling metalware - or a reasonable facsimile. Wagon Wheels Egg cartons Old metal pots and pans Old wooden row boat Those with items to loan or donate may drop off the items at the Middfest offices during business hours or call 513-425-7707. Middfest is located on the 4th floor of the Middletown City Building, One Donham Plaza in downtown Middletown. Middfest International is a year-long educational project featuring a different country each year. The 2007 Middfest event will be October 5,6,7, on Donham Plaza in downtown Middletown.
