Kansas City Star Wars FanForce - Public Library Event
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 6:16 pm
Where: Mid-Continent Public Library, Lee's Summit Branch on Colburn Rd.
When: Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Why: Mid-Continent Public Library is celebrating 30 Years of Star Wars
Throughout October the Kansas City FanForce, Heart of the Alliance, has been working with Mid-Continent Public Library to celebrate 30 years of Star Wars and the continuation of Star Wars through reading. We had a very successful 'test run' at the small Oak Grove branch on October 1st, and we're gearing up for the two larger events scheduled for Saturday, October 20 at the Lee's Summit Colburn Rd. Branch and Saturday, October 27 at the Boardwalk KC North Branch (both are from 2-3:30). Because these are larger venues with larger number of children registering, we would like to extend an invitation to our 501st and Rebel Legion brothers and sisters to attend and help us out with the kids.
Obviously, we'd welcome costumed people, but if you or a family member would like to help out w/o a costume, we have plenty of 'roles' that folks can play. We are reading Star Wars stories to the kids, making crafts, bringing Star-Wars themed snacks, and taking pictures and playing. For a general idea of what will happen, see here.
If you are interested, take a look at the links above for more information about the activities and such you'd be taking part in, and either let us know on the thread there how you can help out, or contact gswookie or gandalfbmg and we'll find you a spot.
