The third annual event was comprised of parent, teacher, and student volunteers.

These volunteers ran booths ranging from “Mad Science,” where students were able to mix science experiments with the Mad Hatter, capturing pictures of themselves with the Chesire Cat, to participating in a delicious tea party.

In addition to running booths and setting the ambiance by decoration, volunteers participated in making the d

ay magical by dressing up as characters from the “Alice in Wonderland.”

Immediately upon entrance to the fair, children and attendees were thrust into this make believe world.

“Kate Bergstrum [Drama Department Head]welcomed every guest in a magical, engaging way,” said Ms. Broucqsault.

The focus this year was decorations rather than booths. Owls in Wonderland managed to draw a handful of alumni.

Mark Romanov, Laguna alum and UCSB ‘03 graduate, attended and filmed the event.

He was able to capture the core reason it is put on every year.

Also in attendance was Austin Danson ‘11 who  helped the ceramic booth.

Owls in Wonderland serves a significant role in connecting Laguna to the outside community.

With face painting and petting zoos, the fair allows Laguna to open its gates up to those who are wanting to participate.

While, unfortunately, due to restrictions, the committee was unable to hang the advertising sign that graces the streets of Montecito, the event still managed to draw the attention of many.

Science Department Head Ms. Staci Richard took her children to the event. “It was a nice opportunity for fifth graders who had just moved up to interact with the kids on the lower school campus.”

It is evident that Owls in Wonderland will become a fully embraced tradition in the years to come.

“Owls in Wonderland was fun especially for the little kids. My favorite part was helping them and being around them. I volunteered to help with the green screen which was challenging but really fun,” said  seventh grader Brittany Cardilino
