Mark Twain Library Frog Frolic call for volunteers!

Spring to Action: Teens and Parent Volunteers needed for Frog Frolic 

REDDING, CT, March 20, 2018 – As we welcome Spring in Redding, it's time for kids of all ages to get ready for fun at the Mark Twain Library's Annual Frog Frolic.  The Frolic is a children's country fair featuring games and prizes, crafts for kids to make, giant inflatables, storybook characters, an extraordinary silent auction, a bubble garden for toddlers, entertainment, food, mixing with friends and neighbors and more. 

Please sign up to help and mark your calendars for Redding's 23rd Frolic, on Saturday, April 28th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m at the Redding Community Center.  All proceeds from the fair help support the Mark Twain Library.

"Please help the library and have some fun by donating some time with an activity at the Frolic. You'll see a lot of your friends and neighbors.  Our success depends on community member volunteers as well as fair patrons," said Stephanie Oulton, Frog Frolic Committee chairperson.

"Volunteers are needed to help children with crafts and games as well as dressing up as storybook characters. High school and adult volunteers are needed in the food tent and with the giant inflatables.  Middle school volunteers are great helping out the young kids!" said Ms. Ronna Brier, Frog Frolic volunteer co-chairperson. 

The frolic needs 200 volunteers on April 28th.  Please sign up for one or more shifts as there are four shifts for the day. Set up is from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.; 1st shift is 9:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; 2nd shift is 12:45 to 4:00 p.m. and clean up is from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Creative cake bakers are invited to showcase their work based on this year's theme: Alice in Wonderland's "A Merry Unbirthday to You!" Cakes for the junior and adult divisions will be accepted at the Community Center between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. on April 28th.  Ribbons will be awarded based on creative decor.  All cakes will be awarded as prizes to the winning participants of the old-fashioned game known as the Cake Walk.

Sponsorship is another great way to help out the Frog Frolic, as is donating an item to the Frolic Silent Auction.   To sign up or learn more, email frolicvolunteers@gmail.com or visit www.marktwainlibrary.org
