Pumpkin Paintup 2013

Did you miss Jack the Artist at our Kid's Camp at the 2013 Relay for

Life? Do not despair! Jack Knight, aka Jack the Artist, will coming back to San

Juan Capistrano and this time around, he will be bringing durable rigid foam

pumpkins to paint. Once you are done painting them, you can enter them in the
Anaheim Fall Festival and Parade (for a $3 entry) where there will be cash prizes. When the parade is over, you get your pumpkin(s) back to keep forever.


At the Relay this past summer, Jack helped the participants make parts to a

totem pole.  I was busy working the event, so I missed the fun. 
However, I saw several camps that proudly displayed their totem parts.  I
even spoke to one mother who said she sat down with her daughter for a couple minutes and next thing she knew, it was 2 hours later.  She had more fun

than her daughter did!  She hopes that Jack will be back again next year.


This family friendly fun event will be at Zoomar's Petting Zoo from 10 am to 5 pm, so plan on coming
to spend the day.  Price is $20 if you buy in advance or $23 the day of
the event.   You can use your credit card at the Pumpkin Paintup
website until October 11 or pay by cash or check on the day of the event. 
Visit our website at www.PumpkinPaintup.com for more information.


The proceeds from this event will go towards our 2014 San Juan Capistrano Relay
for Life.  The money we raise is for the American Cancer Society and goes
towards research into fighting cancer, education into ways to prevent cancer and local programs to assist those who are currently battling the

disease.  Please mark your calendars for June 28, 2014 and plan to join us

at our 11th Annual Relay.  If you want to keep up-to-date on all the

events leading up to our 2014 Relay, you can start/join a team at our website at www.RelayForLife.org/SanJuanCapistranoCA
If you have not yet attended one of our events, it is a weekend full of live
music, good food and fun activities for the whole family.


Who knew fighting cancer could be so fun and easy for the entire family???
