| World Fair ~ September 1st - September 8th As most of you that have signed up so far already know, the World Fair is an event that GC hosts to showcase and celebrate where we all come from. We have a wide variety of nationalities and such and it's awesome to come together and learn a little bit more about eachother as well as where we all come from. Everyone who signed up will have a thread that talks about the state/country that they come from or have lived in before. In these threads you can have fun facts, tips and tricks to 'surviving' in that area, as well as small mini type games. Not all threads need to have a game though! So let's get planning and pre setting up! I think since we don't have toooooo many US people this year, I think we can each do our own state/a little bit around them, since I know most of ya'll seem to be from the South xD So we can figure out how to organize that so we don't say the same things and such ^^ Again, this event will start September 1st and end September 8th! So be sure to have everything for your thread ready by then! This is something Brit posted in the original sign up/country claim thread that I htink is pretty useful/helpful so going to paste it here too xD There was a subforum for each country. In that subforum, the member (or members) doing that country had multiple threads. One could be about your country's history, one about food, one about culture things specific to your country, and then there were also a few fun games. Like trivia type games, Guess the Word meaning (for languages or slang things, the Scottish one was quite fun xD), etc. You can go here to see the last World Fair and to get ideas. http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/f70-the-world-fair

| So these are my plans for Louisiana:
Redo my Louisiana beats every other states food thread: http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t7273-louisiana-food-tour-and-recipes
Redo my "Welcome to Louisiana" thread: http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t7272-welcome-to-louisiana-the-bayou-state
I think with this I'll condense some of the facts (i got kinda...geographical there...) and focus a bit on where I currently live: Lafayette
Create a Game - maybe word game or guess the phrase meaning??
OH AND IDEA! So we had made bumpers to collect for going to each Country and/or State and I was thinking we could make a little passport thing members could place their bumpers on? Or maybe we give out stamps instead and try to fill up your stamp/passport book?
Also, any special requests for the food thread? Like Louisiana recipes youd like to try?? Something along those lines. |

| I was planning on giving out Brazilian recipes (last year, I made a topic with all the tradicional food, this year I was thinking about teaching how to make some of these.)
redo my Brazil 101 class LOL
maybe a game where you have to guess which state does that flag belong to?
I also taught some words in Portuguese, but I was thinking of recording videos explaining the pronunciation. |

| I really like these ideas so far! And Brit! I think that stamp book passport thing is adorable! Maybe we can get BUbbles to design something for a cover and then each world fair thread would get a piece of paper looking thing with a stamp saying 'I visited such and such' and then the members can have those to put in their galleria and such? |

| Hmmm... I'm going with a recipe thread, a holiday thread, a history one (most familiar with 1949-now, but I can do it for all of China if you want me to), and something that's kind of random and might be an awful idea (China's pairs figure skating dynasty, which is really weird, sorry...) |

| I think something on China's figuare skaters would be neat. Since the point of this is to educate everyone about something in their country, it definitely fits. ^_^ |

| Okayyyyy, so even though Princess Luna and I still need to talk about the final structure of the German section, this is what I had in mind: Welcome thread - that introducing welcome post to start everything xD Culture - includes the topics: Music, food, sports, German TV, things that are special for Germany (for example: cars or laws that differ from other countries xD), etc. History - a small overview for the German history Cities & Sights - Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne and its respective sights Clichés - I'll give the most popular clichés about Germans and Princess Luna and I will say what we think about these clichés - you know, if we agree or disagree and why xD School system - Yeah, this is something I just wanted to talk about since many people on GC go to school/college/university and I thought it could be interesting xD Basic German sentences (Word Search) Yeaaaaaah, that's it xD But as I said, things may change until everything's settled xD - Most needed graphics are also done xD:
The other graphics for this will be made once I feel like it xD

| I'm not sure what exactly I want to do.
I think I'll give a brief history of the state, some information about some of the foods that are only in this state, some information about Lancaster and the amish. I also plan on talking about the theatres and the arts that are centered in Philadelphia and Lancaster. I want to also talk about some slang and things that are only said in PA as well as some funny quirks we have in our sentence structures.
I'm thinking of a fun crossword about the state, it's history and other fun information. |

| Hey guys, Diana has asked me to take over running this event since she's going to be on LOA for a while. Small Lady will also be helping me.
So I'm going to create your respective subforums (in the World Fair forum) in a bit, and you can feel free to start posting your information threads within your country/state subforum. Right now only the Party Planners can see the World Fair forum so don't worry about putting up Work-in-Progress threads. Just remember to have all your threads ready by Sept 1st please!
Also please check the other thread titled "World Fair Stamp Project" if you haven't already.
Thank you kindly! |

| I think its a good start! If you feel its too much you could always get rid of one or combine it with another but honestly I think they are all good topics to cover. I would also suggest making the thread titled "China - Pairs" more descirptive. I had no idea that it would be about figure skating just from reading the title and not having context from you mentioning figure skating before. ^^ |
