Refugee Retreat: Riotous Sledding With Fate: Come And See

by Jon Katz

We are all having a blast at the refugee retreat at Pompanuck Farm. Early breakfast, then hours of sledding, which Fate has been refereeing. The kids love her, she is a kindred spirit to wild boys. They have been sliding up and down the track for hours. This afternoon, a movie, and then dinner. Then a scary story, if I’m still up and awake.

They are having a great time doing things but rarely get to do in their other lives. Come and see. More later.

  1. In 1989, I was taking a children’s literature course, and had the opportunity to speak with Chris Van Allsburg, he shared with me that he loved writing scary stories for kids, as he knew they loved to be scared, explains JUMANJI & ZATHURA amongst others, have fun tonight, Jean

  2. I want to go sledding on that hill!!! The only caveat is that I would have to have somebody pull me back up. >sigh< Guess that's not happening…
    But, boy, were those kids having some kinda fun!!! Good for you for arranging this, Jon!
