Where was I all Weekend?

Since Friday, I have been at the Midwest Kids Fest.   Oh, did we meet some of our great Irish Fest Friends.

I teamed up with JJ who is my alien musician friend from Jiggle Jam, and headed to make friends at Midwest Kids Fest.   I met little Finn, who is named for one of my favorite giants, Finn MacCool,  I saw three acts from Irish Fest this year,  Mr Stinky Feet,  Rockin Rob and Keith Leff.   I got lots of hugs from Amy Hillbrich Davis (http://www.inspiringmoms.com/about-inspiring-moms/amy-hilbrich-davis/) and Ran and the greatest family of volunteers that I love.   We all need to say goodbye to Jonathan, who is leaving for Harvard this morning.  He has been a wonderful Children's volunteer, quick with a smile and full of great love for our Irish Fest Kids, but we are counting on the rest of the clan to take up his slack and help us through!   The Davis car named Clifford (big and red) will bring the other six Davis family members to Irish Fest this year, and word is Amy and Ran may even get a date night! 

Two very important Cosgrove's were at the event who may be future Kid's Club Members, good to see them and Mom, Jeni.   Lyda, are you ready for the Kid's Club, Erin would love to bring you?

Let's see the Horton family was there, all six kids will be joining us at Irish Fest!  A couple of them will step in as volunteers this year.

We met lots of kids who were excited about costumes and on site Treating (that is trick or treat without the tricks - although Keith Leff said he could teach some magic).

It was a REALLY GOOD  few days, KC Pumpkin Patch was giving away all kinds of prizes at our booth,  wait until you see what they have for Irish Fest this year!  Any yes, the pirate ship will be back!

Finally, Kid's Club President Mackenzie and Treasurer Mikayla were on hand to talk to the Irish Fest Kids and tell them about all the fun and exciting plans for just 11 days away (and counting).
