World Peace Flag Ceremony -- Children, ages 6-12, are invited to sign up for a class at the Loveland Museum to research and make flags of the world. Children will parade their flags at the Foote Lagoon Lily Pad area on festival day. Two classes are scheduled July 21—10:30 to 11:30 and 1:30 to 2:30. Call Myrna at 667-0929 for information. Sign up will be through the Museum at 962-2410.

John Denver Memorial Peace Cloth --This traveling peace cloth will be hung for the Festival. The cloth was created after the singer’s death in 1997 as a visible expression of his message of peace for the planet. People from all over the world have contributed pieces to the work so that it is now a 2,000 foot tapestry three feet wide. We will have 150 feet of the cloth at the Festival. Volunteers are needed to help hang the cloth and to be a docent to help people fully appreciate the cloth. There will be an opportunity for students to design and make their own peace panel during the Festival.

Walbye Dove Sculpture -- George Walbye, noted Loveland bronze sculptor, has created a dove paper weight to help raise money for PEACE IN THE PARK festivals. They will be for sale at the festival. If the supply runs out, orders will be taken for delivery after the festival. Place one of these paper weights on your desk to invite peace into your life every day….or give several as gifts.
