FORT BOX | Sponsored by IKEA , The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers & New Morning School

To kids, few things are as enchanting as a bona fide fort. With a little imagination, an old cardboard box becomes the center of the universe - a place where entering requires a secret handshake, a password or a classified knock. But building a fort is just as much an adventure as playing in it. Fort Box will resemble a small village where children of all ages can gather, share ideas and swap secrets. Green Street Fairs Cardboard Crew will also be on-site encouraging the children how to build upon the existing fort structures by using recycled materials. Fort Box will be located in Kellogg Park.
