About The Event

Read the book with your family ahead of time. Any version will do. Audiobooks also work. The original version is a Little longer, so if you want to read that, I recommend getting started asap. 

While you are reading do the following: 

  1. focus on themes of family, friendship, honesty/deceit. 
  2. create a trading pouch of “found treasures”
  3. each child should find a meaningful quote from the book that relates to one of themes listed above. Then he or she should write the quote on a piece of paper and illustrate it. 
  4. sign-up on our perfect potluck to bring a food item for 3-4 dozen people.

 Tom Sawyer Potluck Picnic (password: Tom)

At the event:

  1.  dress up 
  2.  Bring your book, quote illustration, trading pouch, and food items
  3. bring water for your family 
  4. bring something to sit on (blanket or beach chairs—might be muddy near the river)
  5. bring sun protection 
  6. consider bringing a swimsuit, towel, and/or change of clothes for afterward. 
  7. bring sturdy sand shovels

After the event: if you’d like to play at the beach with us AFTERWARD, then bring whatever you would need for your family to be able to do that. 

This event has a group. You’re welcome to join the group once you register for the event.
