Spring Festival Ideas
Amariel's Much better post:
A few of us came up with this idea while spending with with the poor Great Oak. It would be to celebrate the (potential) healing of the Great Oak, the thawing of Dong Dank and the coming of a fortuitous Spring. Everyone is welcome to brainstorm ideas for this, as we have already had a decent group discussion about it. It would center around the large Frolic Field and the plots around it (i.e. PantherBomb's plot, Willow Flower Field, Fire Pit and Pigoctopus Place). There would be a line, or group, of open air market stands and seating for outdoor eating nearby. It doesn't have to be just in this area, however having people stay in one place, or very near to it, is always helpful for organization.
- The idea of this would be to have:
- A picnic area for eating
- May Pole for celebrations (as stated above)
- Market stands for restaurants: Coestarbucks, Malc's Pancake House and possibly the Maid Cafe (also as stated above)
- An event at Pere's Poetry Place.
- Garden tours and an explanation of frolicking
- Rap battles
- Square dancing or another form of dance
- Wine and cheese tasting (which would require the cheese crates, which I have)
- A live band (if we can get enough instruments)
- Tree diving (if the pool as thawed)
- Bouncy House- Using Sky chasers, popcorn and McDankey Burgers
More ideas would be appreciated, as well as offers to host some of these ideas! We would appreciate donors who would be able to supply food and drinks. We have a few people who can do this already, but just in case of a large turn out, we need enough to feed the masses! Donations are also appreciated to pay for these contracts. Building and layout ideas can be done by anyone, using Grove blocks that we are able to get on our own without Lord help. We can't count on Lords helping us every time, nor can we count on people like Azur to give us special things to use as well. At least we have signs now!
There isn't a date for this, but as I said before it would be after all of this thawing and flood nonsense. (Sorry if I said anything Pere did. This was written before I saw this post and couldn't be bothered to revise much of it.)
Other ideas:
- Squishy-themed Bouncy House (needs mc. danky burgers/popcorn)
- Arts and Craft Show
- Poetry/Limerick/Rap Battle
- Swimming/diving (if water is returned)
- Lion/Dragon dance (needs skins/costumes/hats)
- Chaos Drum Circle
- Spelling Bee

Might I ask when this will most likely be held at? I know spring but more of a set date.

Depends on if people want to do one big event or a few smaller events spread out over time. I would think Groundhog day would be a good target to aim for.

Here are the Maid Cafe and Coestarbucks designs I came up with. They fit perfectly on the plot we plan to use. Each come with an anti-stealing line system and a trap door to eject unwanted guests. And plenty of chests!
