Saturday, October 27
2:00 - 3:00 (but we can go until 3:30)
MCPL – Boardwalk (KC North)
8656 N Ambassador Dr.
Kansas City, MO 64154
MAP.
Please post what you’d be interested in helping out with and I’ll update. If we could get 2-3 people per section, that would be great. If you can come in costume – even better since I advertised “special guests” for photo ops. Just let me know in your post what character you can appear as. We could also use some prizes for the trivia games - nothing fancy or expensive. Make sure you sign up in the correct post for the correct date and event. Remember, opportunities like this rarely fall in our laps – I know we’ll put on a great event for the kids! PM me with any questions.
(old discussion here)
1) Bring out 'good guys' in costume.
~Bart (RFT); Angie (Padme)
2) Introductions, including a bit about the group including types of events and brief history, membership (13 for boards and under 18 requires adult at events). Have slideshow going as this is going on.
~Angie; Bart Supplies: laptop (Bart)
3) Have the kids get their snacks.
~Angie; Bart Supplies: WookieCookies (Angie)
4) Talk about how SW isn't 'just' the movies; that it continues in books and comics. Show the books and comics, and point out the library's offerings.
~Angie Supplies: Books (Bart and Sarah)
5) Bring out 'bad guys'.
~Sarah (TIE); Thom (Mando)
6) Read a story (or excerpt), can be a good guy or a non-costumed.
~JediAlexW Supplies: book?
7) Have people in costume do trivia for prizes (Need prize donations: a book or figure or comic or anything).
~Bart; Angie Supplies: Questions(JediAlexW; prizes (???)
8 ) Do pictures and general mayhem, directing the kids toward the crafts:
Coloring pictures provided by Darryl, Masks
~Darryl (drawing); Tenn Supplies: Mask material (Bart and Sarah)

Newbie to HotA here...
I think I can make this event. Sadly, I don't have a costume though I'm sure you can figure out what it would be by my name!
I have lots of books ranging from the pre-K through teens to adults. I'll be glad to bring along a bunch of them. As for 'reading' - what do you have in mind? A short history of the EU?
I also have a cool Millenium Falcon shaped trivia-type game. I'm charging some batteries to see if it still works. It would be a lot of fun for kids to play with. |

As far as reading, I'd like to actually read something, perhaps an excerpt from one of the junior versions of one of the movies? If you have any book, please do bring them. I thought in addition to reading a story, it'd be nice to have someone talk about the EU and all the book available, as two separate components of the program... |

Don't worry costumes are NOT required and there will be some of us there in HotA or SW t-shirts!  |

I'd be glad to talk a few minutes about the EU. I'll touch on a few highlights though don't you imagine the average individual will want to know what happens to the major movie characters?
I'll dig out a few pre-teen books. I think I have PM in the junior version.

Do you have any 8 1/2 X 11 pages that we could copy for kids to take and color - especially for the other events if you can't make them? |

Sadly? No, that just means you get to help all the kids with crafts and making sure they don't make a mess with the snacks. |

#5 Whats this bring out bad guys???? I'm not bad. Mandalorians or bounty hunters were working for the legit government when they hunted down the rebels. Key word Rebels aka "bad guys" not the standing law like the Empire. Remember the jedi hunted down the mandalorians and almost wiped them from history (EU). Now Deathwatch is different from true mandos. Now they were "bad" guys. Lookout I'm on a roll..... Looks like the Rebels are in charge of this one. just kidding folks....
