Lifestyle Sophie's Sa-j-urdavi The Tucker Elementary School Fall Festival through a child s eye Story and Photos By CHARLOTTE PERKINS Home Journal Stait ophie Goliber is only four, but when il to the tall festival at Tucker Elemen- W-Jtaiy School, she knows just what to do: get a handful of tickets and try everything! First stop: cotton candy. That spun sugar stuff is irresistible until the third or fourth bite. Then it becomes something sticky to carry around or to hand to adults for tem porary' care. Second stop: the moon walk. After finding someone to hold her cotton candy. Sophie hands over three of her precious tickets, takes off her sneakers, and gets into the big inflat able "moon walk." Being four, Sophie takes this whole business of jumping and falling very serious ly never cracking a smile as she bounces higher and higher and falls over and over on the soft inflatable surface. Finally, she's jumped enough. It's time to get those sneakers back on, find someone to tie the laces, retrieve the sticky cotton candy and head for her third stop. “I want to have my pace fainted.” Sophie announces, and off she goes, back into the school building to find the room where three very creative moms are hard at work placing works of art on children's faces. Sara Hall goes to work on Sophie’s left cheek with her acrylic paints, turning out a very neat sunburst. “I want another one on my other one!," Sophie says, and the “pace fainting" continues. Fourth stop: Now it's time for the cake walk, which is going on in the gym. Sophie turns in another ticket and gets in the big circle. The music begins and so does the walking, but soon it turns out that everybody else is backed up behind a baby-stepping Sophie, and Debbie Pearson comes to the rescue, grabbing the four-year-old's hand and moving right along. Fifth stop: Back outdoors to check out the Disney Radio van, and get a balloon from Disney spokesperson “B.B.” 8.8. who says that this is her 17th fall festival in two weeks, is smiling but looking a little weary. Sophie, on the other hand, is just getting started. Clutching the string of her new balloon in one hand and her (still mostly-uneaten) cotton candy in hand, she's off to check out “Chester Cheetah" who has just arrived from Frito-Lay, and to find her mom and dad Cindy and Mike Goliber. and her five siblings in the growing crowd. 3 * r There’s still more to do more games to play, more festival food to eat.
