El Presidente Minusculo
After designing a new flag and writing their presidential decree, one kid becomes El Presidente Minusculo of the Festival and is treated with all the pomp and ceremony they deserve. Their Presidential motorcade (pulled by two grown-ups in splendid regalia) winds its way through the Festival grounds. With much fanfare, their decree is read aloud, and their word is law… until the newest El Presidente overthrows them.
It’s big, bold and beautiful…so it is decreed!
