It’s not mad-hatter madness; there’s actually a science to August in Wonderland, according to Downtown Carleton Place BIA spokesperson Paisley Woods.
A consistent theme, “Down the Rabbit Hole”, and the visual animation of Lewis Carroll elements you can participate in, are central.
Yesterday’s Mad Hatter Drop-In at the Carleton Place Library was the inaugural event.
The Chess scene is something to be seen.
The Chess Scene would be great for selfies, but that’s not all.
And one motif leaps from fantasy, to full-fledged flavour!
Paisley says come in costume if you wish- you’ll fit right in; you may enjoy August in Wonderland so much, you’ll be clamouring for an encore.
August in Wonderland- all this month, in Carleton Place.
