Good morning All!
It was lovely to see about 300 patrons come out to the Dancers’ Bazaar yesterday – in spite of inclement weather and the shift from Sunday to Saturday!
I also enjoyed meeting some of the new vendors and seeing familiar faces there too! And after a lovely supper out with some of the vendors last night, I am grateful to have some of the nicest people around as part of my belly dance community!Pics and video will go up this week – taking it easy today!
As October comes to a end this week, the upcoming weekend has some fabulous events as a final hurrah – and then November is chalk full of belly dance fun! Remember that even more events are listed on the main website too – so if you are not seeing something, check online to see if I have it there!
Have a wonderful week!
