Day 132-133 - Strange Weather & Power Outages!
Okay, first things first! We got home and found the power out. A transformer was blown just down the street from us. It didn't take long to get fixed & I am glad Blogger has finished it's maintenance.
Yesterday, I went to the Sunoco station at exit 7 in Bristol, VA and setup to do face painting to help raise funds for the town of Glade Springs that was destroyed by a F3 tornado. We had a few people show up to get painted, but most of them were employees. The rest of the donations came from a lot of people with very large hearts.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who gave to help a community that FEMA denied.
Today, we setup at Trail Days in Damascus, VA. It was a little slow for the start, but tomorrow promises to be a better day, as that is what happened last year. I met 2 face painters that were there just for the festivities, Ray and Nancye. I also took some video of the event that I will post in Wednesdays video blog.
If you are in the area or just looking for something to do, come on out to Damascus and enjoy Trail Days. To find out more about it, visit this link: http://www.traildays.us/
Happy Painting!

Day 128 - Recap of the weekend!
So, if you noticed, the past couple of blog entries were kinda small and nothing to them. Well, let me give you a recap on what happened this weekend.
On Friday, we headed out to Clifton Forge, VA to setup for the Magic in the Mountains Festival. We have done this festival for over 3 years now and the past couple of years, have been hired to do the face painting in the children's area. They gave us a vendor space to work from on Friday & Saturday and another space in the children's area for Saturday to do the Free face painting. We setup and they let us vend for the rest of the day and all we got were 2 glitter tattoos and 1 Henna, here is the picture:
Not much business on Friday, but we expected that from the past years.
On Saturday, we opened early and it did not take long to get customers, I was busy all the way up to 11AM when I had to transfer my stuff over to the children's area. I was non stop for 5 hours and, as always, had some really uptight parents when I told them I had to shut down at 4PM. In fact one of the parents went over to our vendor space and told my partner that I was rude for closing down so early when the festival goes on till 6PM. Aline had to tell them that I was only paid till 4PM and had to close. They still didn't get the idea. As soon as I got back to our vendor space, I took a short break and we started all over again with the painting. It was a good day.
We decided to leave that night and come back home after have a really great dinner at Vic's Italian Restaurant, which was located just across from where we were setup. We got home about 11:30PM and I went straight to bed.
And here I am recapping for you right now, so you can catchup on this weekend and see some of the wonderful kids and the faces I painted on them.
Happy Painting!
