Wow! What a wild four days!!! We had a great time meeting new people, greeting old friends, and just generally dashing around the shop stamping passports, making sure visitors knew where the daily drawing entry blanks were, refilling the pitcher of iced tea, restocking the chocolate truffle plate, and helping locate certain needles, patterns or yarn. We had a great time, and it sure seemed like all the "Tourists" did as well! Just like last year, I had the best of intentions to take photos during each day. But just like last year, there wasn't any TIME!! We did get a shot of our local group, who had four completed passports among 'em. They got a rousing cheer when they walked through the door grinning and waving their passports showing they'd actually made it to all 24 stores! Congratulations, and we'll cross our fingers that one of you wins the Grand Prize!
After the photo shoot in front of the shop, the ladies had brought in a bunch of munchies for a little "After Party" - here's a shot of those festivities. Thanks for the snack, by the way - by Sunday night Laura and I were getting sort of addled, and the food really helped...
Once again, the Tour was a resounding success! Many thanks to all the shops that participated, as well as all the great people who trekked from Kent to Bellingham, with stops all along the way. I especially want to thank my core group of "regulars" who do so much to support the shop, both during special events such as this, but also in their day to day lives. It's much appreciated!
Knit...knit some more,
Becky
