This event--a "labor of love", which originated in the home of Professional Speaker, Writer, and Motivator Kate-Madonna Hindes--will be held at St. George's Parish in St. Louis Park, MN near Excelsior Blvd and Hwy 100, December 12, from 1-4pm.
An especially exciting development is that for the first time there are corporate sponsors this year such as: JDL and Associates/Digital River, Custom Creations Photography, Cub Foods, Stampin' Up, Mary Kay, and MORE!
"Are you struggling and need Holiday cheer?"
"This event is non-religious, and a non-sales event. You won't be asked to buy anything, give anything, or do anything but PARTICIPATE and HAVE FUN with your families!"
"Onsite we have:
*Free Family Photos by Custom Creations Photography. (Free! You won't be asked to do anything but sign a waiver and pose.) Amy Zellmar is a MASTER at photographing families and children and she and her partner studios have offered their time, talent and materials. (www.customcreationsphotography.com)
*Free Cookie Decorating with Nicole! She's an up and coming bakery artist who, with the partnership of Cub Foods are offering families the chance to decorate and eat delicious cookies!
*Free Storytime with THE INSPIRED ELF from www.theinspiredelf.com John Hagerman will be reading excerpts of his new book and others, on-site. (www.theinspiredelf.com)
*Free gifts: (We have a limited number of free, and unused children's gifts. We've been collecting them for over a year. If you are in desperate need, we're here for you- please let me know.) We will not be able to buy specific gifts for each child- you're child will receive a wonderful present, (new from store,) at the end of their journey through the 'magical' workshop!
*Door Prizes: Giftcards, coloring books, tons of stuff!
*A wonderful table from www.myhealthybeginning.com with My healthy beginning magazine there with FREE copies and advice for other moms and dads. They are graciously donating baby items and gift cards!
