Madison Willy St Fair - WOW!!
The annual Willy Street Fair was AMAZING! Dan, I and my 10-year old, Dawn, went to the warm-up event on Saturday afternoon and heard an incredible band / singer from Africa. Dawn wheedled Dan into buying the CD for her. We spent a few hours wandering the area - listening to music and eating the fair food.
Sunday was the main event - Dan was there early to assemble the booth. After singing in church, I dropped Dawn off at grandma and grandpas and joined Dan in time for the kick-off parade. From then on, we were off to the races. In a span of 6-7 hours we'd signed up 20 customers (including sign-ups by team-mate Duane). We had a steady flow of interested Madisonions... and a few out-of-towners. We probably gave out a hundred fliers and business cards.
It was fabulous and energizing! A GREAT EVENT!
Our next event will be in the Chicago Northbrook Mall Sept 29-30... and we have to get our act together for an inside venue. Dan will apply his usual mechanical know-how and come up with something.
