Do you paint?  Throw pots? Create sculpture?  Blow Glass with torches? Draw?
Or do you possess another unique talent?  Come be a part of the Artist
Caravan this year at the 6th Annual TOCO Family Festival & Camp Out! Artists
will have their own camping area where campers are invited in to see your
amazing craftwork and share in community.  Artists are invited to camp and
vend.  All we ask in return is that you demonstrate your work for the kids,
or donate a piece of your work to the raffle.



For charitable & educational purposes, *TOCO (Tapestry of Community
Offerings) *organizes family themed events in order to raise awareness &
financial support for regional families & children in need.  Both TOCO &
Make-A-Wish*(c)* share the belief that life should be measured in memories,
not years!  Please go to TOCO & make some of your own memories while helping
youngsters live their dreams!



Families enjoy: *music, canoeing, fishing & swimming* as well as a *high
ropes challenge course *(advance registration required).  Campers are
invited to browse through the *Artist Caravan* featuring the wares of a
variety of local artists.  Patrons pick up *raffle tickets* for a chance to
win great prizes including a brand new autographed guitar.  Visitors choose
from a variety of *vending* *options.  *Kids find hands on creative art
activities such as shaker making, painting, coloring contest and more in the
*Kid's Tent* and Celia hosts the *Kid's Stage* this year!  Anyone can lend a
hand in the *Collective Art Project* & partake in pot throwing, mosaic
making, music instruction, & other handicraft demonstrations.  TOCO also
believes strongly in community education and hosts an *Awareness Walk* where
patrons & not for profit groups exchange intelligent ideas.
