How’d this one go?
The event itself was a moderate success. Attendance was lighter than we had hoped but about what we expected. Those who did come seemed to enjoy themselves. All together we raised a couple thousand dollars for Alzheimer’s research. Will there be a Patty’s Longest Day 2? …remains to be seen.
What’s the story with Pete the Elephant?
So, I set up a “Kid’s Activities” booth next to the LUG build booth. I had scratch art, coloring pages, and these hand-print elephant paintings. During a lull in traffic, I invited @pete to have an elephant made from his hand. I didn’t really expect him to go along with it, but he did, and the rest is history.
The kiddie pool for the brick worked out really well. It made the brick very accessible while still containing it. I also brought a kids’ snow shovel for cleanup which Pete will tell you worked very effectively. The kiddie pool was given to me for this event and I would gladly donate it to the LUG for future events if @Joshhall wouldn’t mind storing it.
