Canyon to Canyon Street Festival and Red Rocktoberfest

I am exhausted after three months of planning for the Canyon to Canyons Street Festival. Contacting business owners and artists was my job as well as recruiting volunteers and helping with chalk signs. The five other Kanab City Art Council members had a long to do list as well such as lining up all the bands and performers (sound systems etc) and after this we are all still friends! Luckily, it was a HUGE success and I think a big part of the reason is everyone in the community worked together. We worked with the Tourism/Visitors Center who did tackled the printing and advertising as well as shuttles for the festival. The Volunteer office supplied and set up 100's of chairs, tables, fire pits, heat lamps and torches and events/parking signage and the funding for straw bales and wagon rides. It rained for days prior to the event but the day of the event was PERFECT! There wasn't a wind, the temp was perfect, it was awesome!

Picture day - she wouldn't let me brush her hair (yup sounds like me when I was little) but she wore her new pea coat and boots to school

my "fur free" bedroom went out the door years ago.  Not only the cats but now Eddie the dog (cuddled up by Addy) is in the mix.
