AGAPE baby and family fair

Today was the annual fair. This is our third year participating in it. This year we spent a ton of time improving our booth and trying to make it something really special. We wanted to have our best year yet, and I hope we do! The fair went well today, no bookings on the spot, but last year we only got 3 of the 16 bookings from the fair on fair day. The rest trickled in over the next 3 months. We are hoping we have the same luck this year. We really liked the way our booth turned out and I am very proud of the impression we put forth. Jon and I talked to tons of people and feel really good about the way things went. One of our "babies first year" clients from last years fair stopped by to see us and chatted for a while. She asked us if we had had lunch and I said no. She said her husband (who is a chef at Ruth's Chris steakhouse) was bringing her lunch and she would call and have him bring us some too. How wonderfully nice of them! He sent over 2 grilled chicken sandwiches with fries and fixin's. They were awesomely yummy and much better than the sad cold-cut sandwiches they were selling at concessions. Thanks Jennifer and Lou! At the end of the day, I got my hair sprayed pink by the girls from the Madison Academy Anchor club and Jon got his sprayed blue from the boys of the club. Ella loved our special hair. While we were working the crowds at the fair, Nana watched Wes and Dad took Ella out for a fun afternoon. They went to see Shrek 4 at the $1 theater, then they ate out at CiCi's pizza. Then a little shopping where Ella got GOLD SHOES, a barrette stick-on nails and a cute new jacket for winter. She had a great day with her grandpa.
