Title: All Hallow's Eve Kiddy Events
Post by: mpullen on October 19, 2010, 01:26:49 PM
Anyone have news on what children's events are planned? Other than the costume contest and the candy apple eating contest and the banshee screaming contest.

Trick-or-treating at various booths perhaps?

Is there somewhere the times and locations of these events are listed?  I know a certain renlet who would love to participate in all 3!!!  

Oops, never mind... I just found them on the Entertainment Schedule (http://www.texrenfest.com/entertainment.html) on the TRF website!  Thanks for mentioning them, though... they all sound like lots of fun (well, with earplugs, anyway)!  :D

All the booths have had candy the last couple years.  My kids had little need for going door to door after going booth to booth.

Mine will definitely give them a run for their money...  :D 

Last year we did a little trick-or-treating in the campground, and several of the camps had candy for the kiddos (and I managed to successfully trick-or-treat for bbq spareribs...).

I've been looking at the Festival Map on the TRF website, and for some reason I can't figure out which stage is the Revels Stage where the Banshee Screeching and Caramel Apple eating will be done.  They all seem to be labeled, but either I'm just missing something, or something is missing.

I believe the Revels Stage is just in side the front gate, in front of the shoppe that sells the official steins and mugs.  Where the cast does the Royal Decrees, Dance School, and the Theme Events.

It should be a good contest, lol and I too believe the Revel stage is at the main entrance

Ahhh... I finally found it.  I had to put my reading glasses on to see it, and the label is not even by that little stage in front of the gate...  LOL  Thanks for the hints! 

I'm pretty sure mine will be a bit more excited about the Caramel Apple eating contest, but she enjoys screaming as much as any kid, so it could be a toss-up!  ::)

My booth will have candy, as will many others.

Revels stage is the ginormous red wagon to the left after you enter the front gate.

Heya, Mistress of the Revels here!

Ravic is correct, the Revels Stage is the red wagon stage just inside and to the left.   

There will be plenty for the kids to do and see, I will be posting a complete list of the weekend's contests and theme events early next week.   Also, many of the vendors and artisans typically participate in the trick-or-treating!

I hope you have a CREEPTASTIC time!

LOL  I'll keep that in mind, although the ribs were awesome, also!  I already have my Loki Route all mapped out, though!  I know just who has the flavors I'm wanting to try this year, and where they'll be camping...  :P  ;)  heheh
