Saturday April 10th: Stories Event-Chapter Two: "Spring on the Farm"

Next weekend is fast approaching and we couldn't be more excited!! Our 3rd annual event to celebrate spring and give back to our community is being held on Saturday April 10th from 10am - 12 noon at the studio. We are inviting our clients, friends and family to attend and have a great time!

The charity we have chosen to support this year is the Dakota Woodlands. Dakota Woodlands is a non-profit organization who supply shelter for homeless families in our community. Typically families stay on average two months in their facility and they provide temporary housing for up to 110 families a year; and help an additional 30 families with their services. In November of 2009, Dakota Woodlands was awarded the 2009 Minnesota Nonprofit Excellence Award.




Specifically, Dakota Woodlands is asking for our help in collecting $5 gift cards to local gas stations and grocery stores. We have set a goal for us to collect 145 gift cards at our event and we think we can do it - with your help!! Or, if you would prefer to make a monetary donation, we will purchase the gift card(s) on your behalf! I know our kids have already dipped into their piggy banks to count out their $5!

Also in support of Dakota Woodlands, we will be having a silent auction with items such as a digital picture frame, a camping gear package , a board game package...just to name a few!

Of course, back by popular demand, we will have the facepainter (who is an artist herself!) and the storyteller from last year's event! The kids (and grown ups)were blown away by their entertainment!!

And if that wasn't enough, we will also be featuring the local businesses of Doodle Dot Designs by Tricia Prodoehl (handmade children's clothing and accessories to die for!!), Stella and Dot Jewelry with stylist Allison Carl (who doesn't need some new spring jewels?!?!) and the debut of Bathbars by Brynn (local bathbar artist extraordinaire!)

You won't want to miss this event!! See you there!!!
