| Children Perform at the Porkies |

|
| PORCUPINE MOUNTAIN STATE PARK, MICH - August 30, 2011 Each year there is a children’s performance on the closing day
of the festival. The kids usually wear items that they have made at
the Children’s activity Tent. The Activity tent opens on Saturday.
At the tent a large group of volunteers keep an even larger group of
youngsters busy during the day. The kid’s play games, engage in
craft making and practice for their Sunday Performance. |

| The Activity tent and the performance came about through a suggestion submitted by Maki after the 2005 Festival. The suggestion was well received by event coordinators and Maki has been cutting, gluing, painting and blowing bubbles ever since. |

| Maki has seen growth each year...this year Maki said that there
were more than 100 children attending the activity tent. “This is
the first year we ran out of supplies” she said. This year once again, the ever popular Big Bird made an appearance to entertain the children . This year Katie’s husband Dr. Eric Maki, MD dressed up in the costume. No little feat in the 85 degree heat Sunday afternoon. |
