Sky Art event this Friday afternoon at Woodland

This is passed along for Lauren Williams:

Good afternoon, I am writing to invite you to participate in the creation of the "World's Largest Living Wampum Belt"-- an aerial photography experience led by Sky Artist Daniel Dancer from Oregon.

As part of the indigenous arts festival Planet IndigenUS, at the Woodland Cultural Centre, August 15-22, 2009. Free t-shirts will be given to all participants.

We hope to have over 300 people recreate the Hiawatha belt at the Woodland Cultural Centre on Friday, August 21, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. and following this will be a corn soup cookoff and a performance by Hawaiian dancers.

If you wish to participate in the corn soup cook-off, a mug may be purchased for $5.00 for sampling the soups. All other programming on Friday, August 21 is free to the public.

To sign up or register for the sky art and your free t-shirt, please call 519-759-2650 and ask for Diane Kohoko at extension 226 or Joan Greenbird at extension 221.

Thank you, nia:wen, and we hope to see you there!

Sincerely, Lauren Williams
