Youngtown Art Festival.

We had a great time out in Youngtown, Arizona for their “Art in the Park” festival. Great to speak to so many people, pass out some bookmarks, make a few sales. Fun, casual. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks from the Avondale KidFest 2016

So good to see so many people at the Avondale KidFest this year. Here’s some pics. Thanks to our whole team. We worked with families to help their kids “make and take” nearly 200 paper visors! For this event, that was 1 per minute! So much fun.
