New This Year:

• We will have two games for children.  In the “Fish Pond,” children toss three balls toward glass containers. If a ball lands in a container, they win a goldfish.  In “Shark game,” children use a pole and try to find a rubber shark in black-colored water. They fish until they find one. Every child is a winner!

• Caricature artist:  We will have artist Greg Shelton drawing color and black and white caricatures. Greg has created caricatures for the Indianapolis Zoo, Children’s Museum, Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis Colt’s VIP Suites, Carmel International Arts Festival and many other organizations.
