Happy St Patrick's Day, and thanks to all who came to the party last night!
For those who missed it, there was a dance and drama event with Mr. Michael, a magnetic alphabet fishing game where kids could earn a prize for "catching" their name, a shamrock sticker craft, a demonstration by Farmer Max, and enough baked potatoes and corned beef to choke a goat.
The kids got to help Jeremy (who really missed his calling as a bingo caller) on the microphone - and some lucky souls won prizes at our bingo tournament.
As a side note, the new school building where we held the dinner portion of last night's festivities obviously used to be a church, and when Sunflower bought the building, it came with all the 8ft wooden pews, like the one in the photo below. Katie's been selling the pews to interested parties, so if you've ever thought about buying an old church pew for a home project (I bought one and turned it into an eat-in kitchen nook), let Katie know. She has a few more she'd like to sell before the new building is open for business.
The most fun (for me) was the silly photo booth, where the parents were often as silly as their kids. Okay, sillier.
All of the photos from the event have been posted to the school's Smugmug photo site. You can drag and drop your images (or right click + Save As, if you're a PC person) free of charge. I'd recommend clicking on them first to make them as high resolution as possible. If you're considering ordering prints, I'd urge you to do it directly from the Smugmug site - their quality is exceptional, and the school gets a percentage of your purchase. It's good karma. If you have any technical questions, give me a shout.
Thanks to everyone who came and made the event a success, and thanks to Sara Laney, Susan "Grandma Sue" Mason, Sue "The Other Grandma Sue" Johnson, Laura Churchman, Laura Thompson, and the Twite Family for their help setting up the event and cleaning up the aftermath. Couldn't have done it without you.
