Update on our Stories Event!




A couple of weeks ago, we kicked off the start of spring with our annual Stories Event to celebrate the new season, give back to the community and have fun with our clients and friends!! And we certainly accomplished all of that! We are proud to report that our event raised $695 for the Dakota Woodlands - a non-profit organization who supply shelter for homeless families in our community. Everyone who attended Stories brought with them $5 gift cards to either a grocery store or gas station to donate to Dakota Woodlands who in turn, give them to residents when they leave the shelter.

In addition to that, the studio was ROCKIN'! We had over 75 grown ups and kids there to enjoy a morning of story-telling, facepainting, a little shopping for the grown ups, and yummy cookies! It couldn't have been more fun!! Lots of people to thank: Dakota Woodlands for being present to answer questions and talk about their shelter (and for putting together a great silent auction table!), Tricia Prodoehl from Doodle Dot Designs for showcasing darling kids fashions, Allison Carl from Stella & Dot for bringing her spring line to share, Bath Bars by Brynn for debuting her new bath product line, facepainting by Cindy's Creative Celebration, delish cookies from Lucky C's Treats and fabulous storytelling by Wonder Weavers Storytellers ....in addition to the family and friends who helped make our event such a success (especially Jeff & Pat who helped "man" the door!!)

We have already started planning next year's Stories Event! Can't wait!!
