Fifth Birthday Invitation


Leia Rose worked so hard on the artwork of her birthday invitation this year! Here is the result of our combined efforts! These'll go out this week. And I suppose in addition I'll include the rest of the information that I gave to the parents:

Information for Leia Rose’s
5th Birthday Party
Caravan
Many of you have expressed a desire to caravan to the fair, so as not to get lost. Therefore, Brian & Leia will begin the caravan at 1 PM in the parking lot of the Marti Gras Lanes, right where 54 meets I-40 in Chapel Hill.

Parking
We will all follow to the State Fair parking lot on Hillsborough Street (this is the closest lot to the back gate of the fair, entrance #2). Parking is usually around $8, so feel free to carpool (brian will have room for two or three).

Entrance
At about 1:30 Brian and Leia will be at the back gate to escort everyone to the party area. We will take care of all entrance fees for one adult per invited child; however, feel free to bring your whole family! If you get lost, call my cell phone at 619-6947 and look for our Dinosaur/Pony balloons!

Basic Schedule (Ha! Subject to major change!)
· Cake & Presents
· Dinosaur/Pony Rides
· Kiddie Rides
· Petting Zoo / Animal Walkthroughs
· Ferris Wheel (sing happy b-day at top?)
· Candy Apple/Bluegrass Concert at 5?

Miscellaneous
Each invited child will receive a full sheet of ride tickets at the party as well as a small party favor (so you don’t have to lug it around) and a candy apple at the end. Stay for the whole party, separate from our group, or leave at any time.

Fair Tips (for first time fairgoers)
· The fair involves a lot of walking, so be sure to bring a stroller if needed.
· We’ll probably see some animals, so please come equipped with wipes and sanitizer.
· Bring cash both for parking, a quick snack/drink, and/or more tickets.
· More info available at www.ncstatefair.org

Rain Contingency
If it rains, the party will simply shift to Tues., Oct. 16.
