[Deptheads] Family Area - KIDS ONLY - Events Requested

I would like to thank everyone who was able to get appropriate events scheduled in the Family Area. We essentially have Saturday and Sunday covered.
However, the KIDS ONLY events in the *entire* con are on Sunday and that is thanks to Victor and myself.
All the Kids Only events currently scheduled will likely have an average age of 6. We are aiming for events that are appropriate for kids 8 yrs or younger, although up to age 12 are allowed to participate. If you are concerned about who will show up, list required skills like basic reading or math or a suggested age in the description.
If we could get a couple of Kids Only events between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, that would be great. In the Family Area, even better, I will make a table available.

Or, is there any chance Kids on Bikes can either shift to 1pm (with RPGs permission) or shorten an hour? And, yes, making the Sunday Kids on Bikes 8 and up would be great.

Would you prefer that Sat 10-12, or Sunday 10-12 or 12-2? I haven't got a commitment yet, but I can be persuasive ;-) Let me know if these work. So far only the Friday Kids on Bikes is on the schedule, because that GM is faster than the rest of us.

That does not necessarily mean an event starting every hour. If a two hour event starts at noon, the next event should be starting at 2pm.
