Friends of ALICE:

The Alice in Wonderland Festival
Will Not Happen in 2010

Our Alice goes the Way of All Festivals:

Strewn with Love
along the Paths of Memory.

Our 2009 (15^th annual) event was incredible.

2009 CNN VIDEO HERE

And 2007 Video HERE

So we leave you on a high point :
with deep bows to our actors,
sponsors and all involved.

As this scale of festival takes a year to build
and fundraise for, we are musing how to return,
perhaps on a two year schedule.

A Private Gathering for Tea
with the Wonderland Family
May be Announced.

Yours in Wonderland,

The Hatter
