For the third year in a row, the BryonySeries team organized and ran free children's games witih free prizes at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre's annual Independence Celebration on July 3.
During these past three years, the team has seen the event grow from a one-tent idea with a spinning wheel for a BryonySeries book giveaway and Bozo buckets to three tents with six games and a variety of merchandize and giveaways as well as BryonySeries and WriteOn Joliet books for sale.
Once families realized we this game tent was available, we were full all night. If the photos doesn't quite show the "fullness," it's because the only time any of us could take photos was during the lull.
We already full of plans for improving the flow, games, and recruiting more volunteers (we were very short-staffed). Special thanks for WriteOn Joliet member Mauverneen Blevins who stopped by our booth and decided to stay and help out!
We had 135 books for adults and kids (mostly kids) to give away with the spinning wheel and at least 120 were distributed (not sure yet of the total amount).
Yes, we are very thankful.
But for today, enjoy a baker's dozen worth of photos.
