Show Children of all ages to take part in festival CEDAR CITY Children come in all shapes, sizes and ages. Remember that when you visit Southern Utah State College July 20 through 22 for the Southern Utah Fine Arts Festival. Family Arts Showcase is the theme lor the celebration which is being sponsored by the Cedar City Fine Arts Council and SUSC. Kathy Mclntyre, festival chairwoman, indicated that the festival Cedar City's first is being patterned after the highly successful Utah Arts Festival conducted each summer in Salt Lake City. "And, like the Salt Lake festival, ours will include a little bit of everything," she said, "from excerpts and arias from the Utah Opera Company to country fiddling and a children's yard with dozen of fun activities." "Children," she said, "can be a year old or 100 years old; for our intents and purposes being a child is just a frame of mind." Activities get underway un-derway at 1 11 a.m. each morning and end around 5 p.m. With the exception of food and art-craft booths, festivities will all be free. "A highlight of the festival is the Children's Yard which will be held on the upper campus quadrangle," Mclntyre said. "Activities here will run continuously throughout the day, ranging from hair braiding to Maypole dancing to rock painting and puppet making." A hat-factory, science project, wood creations and hand painting on a huge community canvas are also on the agenda at the Children's Yard. Up-Up-and-Away is the theme for another activity ac-tivity where children will draw pictures or compose poems then send carbon copies of them into the sky in helium-filled balloons. "In another part of the quad, kids can make their own clay creations that they can pick up in a couple of weeks after they've been kiln fired," Mclntyre said. "Or, they can papier-mache King George's Dragon, have their faces painted or make their own life-size "Like Me" paper dolls!" The Utah Opera Company, Salt Lake Children's Theatre and a number of other performers per-formers will be appearing ap-pearing on campus, either on the Green Stage (by the Utah Shakespearean Festival Theatre), or in the Thorley Recital Hall.
