== Happenings ==

The "structure of CFT is based on attendee-driven events called [[W:Happening|Happenings]]." A happening is an event of [[art|artistic significance]] at Campfire Tails. It can be anything ranging from [[W:Art exhibition|traditional art exhibits]] and themed camps, to participatory events (like [[W:List of artistic media|craft workshops]]), to community builds, to mixed medium art displays, to something instantaneous and fluid, like a [[W:Flash Mob|flash mob]] or a [[W:Performance|musical performance]].

Any attending member can suggest or form a happening as long as the event is legal and there is room to schedule it.{{cn}}
