The Generic Magic Festival

October 21, 2018 by amgrabler

The city of Roanoke organized an event for the community called the “Generic Magic Festival.” The goal was to engage families in the institutions participating such as the Virginia Museum of Transportation. At the museum, we created two fun programs for children and their parents to take part in. Inside, they could make slime and create dry ice tricks with steam. Outside with all the trains was where I was located and had broom races. Unfortunately, not a lot of children showed up because the weather was not great, but it was still a wonderful experience being a part of the magic festival. I enjoyed helping put things together and watching the few kids that did show up learn and use their “magic” powers throughout the day.
