Spring Fling Celebration

by jpctalbot

As long as I can remember, spring has been my favorite season.  After having been bundled up in thick coats, hats, boots, ear muffs, and gloves, as a child, I welcomed spring’s warmth, which meant less clothes and more outdoor activity.  For me, the arrival of spring in June is something to celebrate.  A Spring Fling, a fun-filled event, is one way of celebrating spring’s arrival. 

A Spring Fling can be held indoors, but an outdoor Spring Fling is more appropriate if the weather permits.  A Spring Fling should have a carnival or festival feel.  So serving funnel cake, fresh squeezed lemonade, grilled chicken or hamburgers, and fresh fruit will really set the event’s tone.

You can set up booths or stations with different activities to engage your guests.  Arts and crafts stations for making kites, tissue paper flowers, and bird houses or feeders, for instance, will keep children and some adults entertained.   You can have other stations for blowing bubbles, jumping rope, and doing chalk art.  If your budget permits, incorporate pony rides, dunking booths, and bouncy houses into your Spring Fling. 

Live or recorded music must fill the air.  People should be singing and dancing.  If you can, hire various performers to share their talents at the Spring Fling. 

A Spring Fling can be for a large group, or you can organize a more intimate event.  The main goal is to celebrate spring’s arrival with friends.
