Arts for Peace and Little Flaming Klu Klux Klan Members Make for Family Fun

So this weekend we went to a little festival called the Arts for Peace festival. It looked like a nice family event.  So we get there and they have some sort of metaphoric pheonix story thing going on with a 10 foot large blue phoenix. Yes the phoenix was blue and no I didn't get it either.  So anyways out comes these little kids dressed in red and orange klu klux klan outfits and they start to surround the blue pheonix.  I looked at my partner "Hey don't those kids look like flaming members of the KKK?" Then I thought; are they harassing the phoenix 'cause he's not red? I tried to take pictures with my partner's phone but I didn't know I had to save them.  So here's an artisitc rendition:

Afterwards, we followed some teachers into the woods. One told a story about a "rocket baby" that got into an intergalactic war with aliens and the baby turned itself into a bomb and blew all the aliens up.  Hello people ARTS FOR PEACE festival!

Yes I realize that people worked really hard on the phoenix and KKK costumes.  But I think they may have been colour blind.  KKK outfits are WHITE.  All in all though, the bubble section was fantastic and the crafts were adorable.  Thanks for the afternoon of fun, we'll be back next year and this time I'll save the pictures.
