WildHare Summer Festival

Finally......the contracts are in the mail for the WildHare Summer Festival......whew. It took me at least a month to get my planets lined up. (Remember, Mercury was in retrograde for a long time and I blamed it for everything!) Honestly, I don't know what any of that means, but it is sort of fun........

Anyhoo......this is going to be a great fleamarket/antique sale/festival.......it will be held at the Fort Hall Replica and Frontier Town in upper Ross Park (near the animal shelter for those of you who haven't been there) The dates are July 22, 23, 24......Thursday the 22nd we will be open from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM in conjunction with the Convention and Visitors Bureau hosting the Chamber of Commerce After Hours. Of course, it is open to the public and you are all welcome for sure......Friday we will open at 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM because those are the park hours......Saturday we will open at 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM. On Saturday there will be live music and some fun stuff for the kids......Remember that is the morning of the 24th of July parade so come up afterwards......Lots of yummy food to buy.......treats......all manner of food and drink.......Some of the dealer/vendors will be in the Frontier Town buildings and others will have tents set up on the lawns.....I hear that there are going to be some good deals for us!!!

Admission into the FleaMarket is free, but there will be a $5.00 charge to get into the music venue........You should also bring a blanket or a lawn chair to sit on for the concerts. I don't have a line up yet of the bands that will be performing, but they will all be family friendly...If you know anyone who would like to play for almost nothing......just for the publicity.....and to sell their CD's....let me know! I am hoping to have a fun area for the kids as well, with the giant slides, bouncy houses, etc. and there will be a charge for those too.....that will be determined by the vendor.....

I hope to see you there.........Look for me in the parade too......hopefully......I haven't actually signed up yet, but I have been plotting about a cool float.......

We also still have space available if you are a vendor/dealer and would like to participate! I would love to hear from you.........

Rain rain go away....come again some other day!!! Actually, I am grateful for the rain.....free water for my yard and flowers......but it is getting in my way for my summer gardening job!!!

We had a fun time making the pom pom tissue balls last night. I will post a picture sometime so you can see what we have done! I am anxious to see them hanging in the Stephens Performing Arts Center in the Rotunda.......it will be beautiful......

Better get back to my mailing list.......how could anything take this long? I am frustrated.....I feel like Tevia in Fiddler on the Roof when he asks, "So would it have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?" I ask, "Would have it been so terrible to give me a computer guru's mind?" Really, someday I am going to use my computer for more than a glorified typewriter!! Soon! Really!!!

Time to beautify.......it takes a while these days........Ha!

It's another grey day.........

But.....It is a busy day......a funeral this morning.......yuck
Training for working at the polls this afternoon.........I am happy to do my civic duties.
Tonight we have quilt club......where we will be making pom poms out of tissue paper for a friend's daughter's wedding......

All of a sudden it will be Thursday and I will wonder how come I didn't get anything done the day before!!!

Still trying to get my contracts in the mail for the WildHare Summer Festival.....I spent hours getting a new mailing list just the way I wanted it.......then deleted it!
Bummer.........

All through church the sun was shining brightly.....I could hardly wait to come home and lounge in the rays......guess what? The clouds are out now.....darn it.....does that mean that I wasn't listening closely enough?

Planning the WildHare Summer Festival.......I have to get the contracts in the mail tomorrow or else.......lots of details to take care of.....Cory is arranging for live music and some other festivities.....he has great connections with people that I would never be able to find on my own.....I am looking into more activities for kids too......I want this to be more of an event instead of just a fleamarket.......two months to plan always seems adequate until I get to this point and then wonder how I twittered away so much time!!

All is well.........

It has been a great day.......

I woke up in love........

I worked hard all day.......took 740 pounds of yard debris to the dump......made a good dinner....and a good dessert......you gotta love strawberries at this time of year! Made shortcake for the first time ever......not bad.......and of course, whipped cream using the mixer that has changed my life!!!

I am really tired tonight....whew......

As usual though.......visions of sugar plums dancing in my head........

Here is the tomorrow that I worried about yesterday! Doesn't look so bad after all........

Today I am working at Cynthia Louise Boutique for a couple of hours.....Imagine this! Cindy needs my help with her computer stuff!!! Is she desperate........I'd say yes!

Hopefully this afternoon will warm up and I can get to my gardening job and get the spring cleaning done. I know that I have been whining about the cold, but it really has been too cold to want to work outside much......not cold enough to be fun.......just too cold to work! Pretty soon I will have to be getting there in the wee morning hours so that I don't get too hot. Can I ever be happy? Yes..........

My head is spinning with all of the ideas that I have for a new fun event. How does learning some new skills, doing an art project, crafting, eating fun stuff, and spending some great time with "The Girls" sound to you? You are definitely going to want to be on the attendee list for this one. I will keep you posted as to where and when.......

Of course, I have to fit in the WildHare FleaMarket in July........and the one that I am participating in on the 15th of this month at WestWood Mall......and my "I never have enough time to sell my own stuff" sale in the shop behind my house. Oh and a trip to California....we will take Ryley and Ben and then see Ryan, Tucker, Ila, and new baby Lilian who won't be so new by the time I get to see her again! But, imagine......most of my favorite kids all together......Heaven couldn't be any better than that!! Add to that a trip (hopefully) to Reno to see Merry (my sister) and her family.......Then what is a trip to Reno if we can't head over the hill and meet up with my other sisters? Whew.......summer hasn't started and already I have it filled up!!! Already planning a trip to Denver in December to see my brother! Love that family stuff.........

It is taking me longer than usual to pull myself together today........better get back at it......I have high hopes!

One Wild Hare

Today has been an unusual day.....my sis says it is because Mercury is no longer in retrograde. I don't know what that means, but I blame everything on it!!

I look forward to tomorrow.

I have started gardening for my friend again. It is the best job that I have ever had. She is fun to work for......and gives me lots of leeway for when I feel like working! What could be better than that? I am also planning another WildHare FleaMarket for this summer. Yippee.....This one is in conjunction with the Convention & Visitors Bureau here in Pocatello...over the 24th of July weekend. I also need to figure out a float for the parade! Any ideas? I am wayyyy open! I actually have a good idea...I just don't want to spill the beans......Then, I am participating in a fleamarket his Saturday.....at the Westwood Mall.......the following weekend I hope to have my own sale here at my house. Of course, I have been planning it for months!

Tired of the rain and the snow and the cold.........you would think after 30+ years in Idaho I would be used to it by now! Maybe next year.........

Well.....I am new to this blog site......hopefully I can figure out how to cancel my other one! Not that I blogged much.........I plan to do more. Not that I have anything profound to say.....it just feels good to say it anyway!
