October! Wow, what a busy month it’s been. The Farmers Markets are over and our last hurrah for the month was our book launch. SKIP THOMAS’ FIRST HALLOWEEN was a huge success.
We had been anticipating Oct. 26th all summer long: from finishing illustrations, editing the story, sending it off to the publisher and finally off to the printer. Whew! What a journey.
The books got delivered Oct. 1st and from then on planning the party took top priority. This year the Oquirrh Mill Convention Center in Stansbury Park was our pick for the launch. Along the banks of the Mill Pond, it was the perfect place.
We set up the event the night before. Our help was amazing and we couldn’t have done it without them. A big THANK YOU to the Jolleys, the Christensens, and Jim Lindsley for letting us use your trucks and brawn to move everything and set up beautiful displays.
Our entertainer, Rob Harrington, was awesome! Everyone enjoyed his music and he made our event even more spectacular. Thank you so much Rob!
With the summer and fall markets over, we are taking some time to re-charge our minds and bodies. It will be nice to sleep past 5 am on the weekends and enjoy a hot cup of Joe and a home cooked breakfast.
Daylight savings time is just around the corner, and we all know what that brings. So, until then, let’s enjoy the falling leaves, amber sunsets, and the warm days and cool nights. Have a safe and fun Halloween. It was one of Skip Thomas’ favorite holidays!
Until next time, God bless.
Skip’s mom, Cb
