PIRATES OF THE KINGDOM
The
HK House of Peers, in conjunction
with Harmony Kingdom, is pleased
to announce a special conflagration of
PIRATES of the KINGDOM in Orlando, Florida, for all
dedicated marble dust addicts and their families! Mark your calendars for a fun-filled
weekend of old-time camaraderie, some pirate games, plenty of good
grub, and a few prize goodies for the booty chest!
The
dates are April 11-13, 2008-the
place is Orlando, Florida
- the land of sunshine and a
never-ending list of things to do! If you've never been there, you
might want to add a few days to your trip to do some sightseeing and
to visit the many attractions in the surrounding area. Join
early-arriving mates on Wednesday, April 9, for a Welcome Reception hosted
by the Harmony Florida Suncoast Collectors Club.
HOP has planned optional
outings on April 10 - visit our OPTIONAL OUTINGS page for details. Online registration has ended. Check for space availabllity at the event.
A fun-filled weekend is being planned
for all Harmony Kingdom collectors. We will have games, artist
signings, event pieces, a Swap 'n Sell, the ever-popular Lucky Dip,
door prizes, raffles, and an auction for rare Harmony Kingdom
pieces. We begin with an afternoon of games, artist signings, the
ever-popular Lucky Dip, and a special HK slide show on Friday. That
night join us for a reception and Charity Fundraiser Pirate Games
Night. Saturday will feature more artist signings, the
Paint-Your-Own, and Swap 'n Sell, followed by a buffet stocked with
scrumptious victuals. Sunday will begin with a sit-down breakfast,
followed by the exciting raffle drawings, charity auction, and
awarding of event prizes.
 Our
guests of honor will be Harmony Kingdom Artist/Master Carver
Peter Calvesbert and our
Artistic Director/Founder Noel Wiggins.
In addition to Peter, Noel, and their families, we are pleased to announce the appearance of Lisa Yahson and ex-Harmony Ball Company staff members Sandy Auer and Bobbie Hill.
Peter has carved a wonderful piece,
Rocky Road, which features an old friend, Murphy,
exclusively for attendees who registered early. Our popular Rockhopper
penguin is "hitching" his way on the road to Orlando, complete with
special HK treasures in his backpack and his Mickey Mouse ears,
ready to meet the big guy while there. Peter is bringing his family
with him to enjoy the Florida sights. Artist
Monique Baldwin is
carving the event figurine and the Version 2 figurine, which will be
shrink-wrapped with surprises. See those pieces and a Peter special
on our EVENT PIECES page. Peter Calvesbert has also created a
special piece to help him and his family visit Orlando. Event pieces must be ordered by January 31, 2008!
