Hosting a festival had seemed easy enough, after all, she had read about them in many books, and seen pictures of them. They were usually outdoors, so London had found a nice clearing, where one could really admire the new plant life shooting through the earth. There were also always a lot of lanterns hung up everywhere in every example she had looked at, though London had wanted to play it safe and hopefully not burn anyone or anything out of clumsiness, so instead she installed some battery-powered fairy lights. They were shaped like stars, as astronomy was a bit on an obsession of her's, but she hoped no one would mind. It still gave of that same, festival-like glow that was to be expected. She had also hung a bunch of paper streamers around as well, since that seemed to be another decorating must-have.
Next were some activities, which London had set up within the glade that she had selected for the event. First was pin the tail on the donkey, since that seemed to be a party classic from what she knew. There was also a tree climbing activity, where she had tied bells to the upper branches of a couple neighboring trees. Perhaps that could be used as a race of sorts. There was a dance floor, with a relatively nice stereo system she had been able to conjure, blasting music off of her mp3 player. A make you own hot chocolate station had also been set up, with whip cream and marshmallows and other delicious toppings for the warm beverage. Then there were two sets of cornhole as another fun partner activity. And lastly, two large buckets full of water with apples floating at the surface. Who didn't like bobbing for apples?
With all her activities set up, the albino clouded leopard got to work on setting up the snack and refreshment tables. There were a plethora of picnic blankets, as well as little baskets that one could use to carry the food and drinks from the snack tables to where ever one wished to set up the a blanket, almost like an actual picnic. There were sandwiches, fruits, cookies, tarts, candy, really anything one could imagine. And along with that there were sodas, fruit punch, lemonade as well as ice tea and warm water for hot beverages like apple cider and tea. And of course water. London had tried to prepare a large variety for any kind of dietary needs, hopefully each guest was able to find something to their liking. If not, she could always do her best to make some last minute accommodations, but it seemed at though for now everything was in order.
Now all the Arcticplayer had to do was wait for everyone to arrive, which so far, seemed to be the worst part. She did hope that everyone would like what she had done, and saw no reason why the would not, but that did not eliminate that possibility. This was her first ever time holding a festival or really any type of social gathering, and she thought she had done a pretty good job. It was a ton of fun preparing, but the party itself would be even better, at least, that's what she liked to believe. This was so different from all the things she was used to, back home she would never have imagined actually living within one of the events she had read about in her books. And now that she was here, as host and event planner, it was a little overwhelming. Surely Mum would be proud.
