Winston the Book Wolf!

Jul 15, 2009 21:40

The story session was a hit. Only a small number of kids, about 12 or 14 I think, but parents and grandparents were there too. The adults were very impressed with the fursuit and presentation, the kids were a bit young to appreciate it all but many did want to "pet" the wolf and some were afraid to get close ( Read more... )

fursuiting, work

Hollow Tree Spinners. All I know about the location at the moment is "in the gymnasium" but I assume they'll have maps. I'm there from 3 to 6 pm on Saturday and 9 to noon on Sunday, unless more volunteers have signed up.

Nicely done!

I'm sure some kids where afraid, especially when a suit is
so crafted, but pets are a sure thing.

*pets you niiiiice!*

You may have induced a lust for books and reading, and dogs,
in those kids.

I hope it inspires some of them to read. I saw a statistic this week (not from a library source either) saying that the "average" US family has an income of $65K per year and spends $118 on reading. Literacy is really going down the tubes here. Contrast that with several thousand spend on "entertainment" which would include cable television, movies, etc. No wonder the newspapers and print media are going bankrupt.

Cool! I can't think of what else to say, besides that its my bedtime. Bah! Curse my lack of concen- ooh kitty!

I'll second his - I'm not sure what to say beyond "cool", but, well, it IS cool, so. :)

Heh. Except for sweating like a non-canine and having my tail pulled. But it was fun. The adults all wanted to touch me.

That's cool, too - it's always good to be able to help people get over their inhibitions and have a little fun. :)

That's one Wednesday that you can remember and enjoy. :D

Wish I could have come.

I'm stiff and sore this morning. Guess I was more acrobatic than I realized. XD

*rubs a cylde's shoulders* :)

I get the same when I start moving boxes around the store room. I do it so little these days that it hurts on the rare occasions I do.

Always trying, and sometimes the experience is trying too. ;p
