Calling all crafty, artsy, whimsical, book-loving, decorating types
to join our Centerpiece Team!

Our dinner tables are designed and decorated by individual volunteers to fit the theme of StoryLand. It is one of the most fun and eagerly anticipated aspects of the event each year. This year’s theme is “You Are Here”: a celebration of all the places children’s stories can take you.


Here some of our past StoryLand centerpieces for inspiration!
