At the Rathdrum Lions Club, the Rathdrum Craft and Farmers Market is throwing a huge kids day event, complete with corn hole games, karaoke, and a Pokémon Summer Celebration! Yup! We were asked to bring all things Pokémon to kids day and we agreed!
This is going to be our biggest 5 hour celebration yet! We will be bringing back our much loved games but also bringing in new games we are hoping fans will enjoy!
Our Pokémon Summer Celebration will be starting at 9am inside the Rathdrum Lions Club building. The first 20 people to arrive will receive a free Pokémon Swag Tin! These tins have sleeves, stickers, a random Pokémon card, Pokémon fruit snacks, and more! Don't worry, if you miss the freebie, we will have Mystery Loot Bags for sale!
Just like before, we will have coloring pages, activities, and crafts for all Pokémon fans to color and create! These are free to make. Just sit down, crab a crayon pack, and start having fun! Be sure to collect your art at the end of the day to take home and show off to your family and friends.
We will also have a small booth at the celebration featuring our Pokémon collection! Fans can buy, booster packs, ETBs, CCBBs, tins, pins, earing, keychains, lanyards, plushies, and more1 It is a one stop Pokémon Shop. Note: we are bringing some massive booster pack names including Destined Rivals, 151, Prismatic Evolutions, Evolving Skies, and more!
GAMES
Throughout the day, Cutoff Crafts will be hosting poke-tastic games where players can win amazing prizes! Promo cards, booster packs, posters, and more are all up for grabs! Many of these games are Cutoff Crafts Exclusive creations! Please Note: Not all of these games may occur.
Game 1: Find the EnergyFind the Energy is a game where players circle a table. Ahsoka will drop a pile of energy cards face down on the table. Players will place one hand behind their back. When Ahsoka yells "Search", players will turn over one card at a time. If they find an energy they don't have, they place the card face up in front of them. If it is one they already have, they place it face down back in the pile of energy cards. The goal: Find 9 different energy cards from the pile ! When a player has all 9 energy cards, they raise their hand and yell, "Gotta Catch Them All!" Everyone will stop collecting. Ahsoka will come over and inspect their pile for all 9 different energy cards. If they succeed, they win a prize!
Game 2: Find Pikachu
Find Pikachu is a game where players circle a table. Ahsoka will drop 500 cards face down on the table. Players will place one hand behind their back. When Ahsoka yells "Search", players will turn over one card at a time. If they find Pikachu, the player will raise their hand and yell "PIKACHU!" Everyone will stop collecting. Ahsoka will come over and inspect the card. If the player found Pikachu and not a Ditto, that player wins a Pikachu promo card!
Game 3: Who's in the Pokeball?
At the beginning of the day, we will show everyone a pokeball. Inside is a Pokémon card. Players will be given a chance throughout the day to guess the Pokémon inside the ball. Occasionally, we will give hints about the Pokemon in the pokeball and allow players to make another guess. This game will continue until someone guesses the Pokémon inside. The person who guesses correctly wins the card inside! If no one guesses the Pokémon, no one wins the card.
Game 4: Name That Pokemon (NEW GAME)
Name That Pokemon is a game where players have a chance to win a fun reverse holo, holo, or cool art card! Michelle will provide a word scramble, first and last letter, or other word puzzles players have to solve. The person with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins the first place prize card! We will also have a second and third place prize card! Must be present to win!
Game 5: Don't Say Pokeball (NEW GAME)
This game is simple, Ahsoka and Michelle cannot say "Pokeball". If we say it, the first person to raise their hand and call us out gets a random Pokeball sticker. Players must collect different Pokeball stickers to win a prize! The more you collect the better the prize!
In order to play: Make a purchase at our booth and receive the Pokeball Card. Then start listening and collecting. Cards are while supplies last.
