Major prep at DD today for the Music Festival tomorrow. Lots of cleaning and getting as much done as we can today so it’s ready and we don’t have to do too much tomorrow morning. Lori decided it would be a neat idea to put some of the wedding dresses on display, so my big project today was cleaning up the ‘exhibit construction’ area, making it look presentable, and sectioning off part of the area to display 4 wedding dresses. Very excited because we had 3 picked and she said I could pick one more. Naturally, I chose the purple one from 1840 that had been remade in 1890 for another wedding. So that makes the 4th dress for the display for tomorrow.
Once I had the space all set up for them, I made finishing touches on the dress forms and made nice little labels for each one with info about when they were made, who made them, the story behind them, and big, bold, italicized DO NOT TOUCH! Also had to do a little sewing on the dresses to make sure they hang right and look good for display…you have now idea how exciting it is to be using needle and thread on dresses that are 100 years old! Big shout out do my sewing girls back home!! Overall, I’m pretty proud of that display and I hope the people like it. Also hope the weather holds for tomorrow and we have a good crowd for the Music Festival. Homemade pie and ice cream alone would draw a crowd back home. Hahahah!
For lunch, me and Lori met Cindy at Café Teresa. We had a nice little visit with some girls gossip and some business chatter. I’ve been really lucky out here to be staying with the Director of one museum and working with the Executive Director of another. Other than that, not a whole lot going on here. It will be good to see Mom and Dad tonight. They've had a long day on the road, so I'm going to take them to Whiskey Canyon for dinner...should be fun :)
