I've been hosting parties forever and love to learn new things! How fun to go to this event with these great speakers!
My friend and I just opened a children's themed party place in our town in wyoming. We are the ONLY party place like this in the whole state. We are relying on our artistic talents, creative juice, pintrest, and blogs like this to keep us up to date and stay relevant. But as all creative people know, the more one is around other creative types, the more creative we become. This would be so amazing to win so we can really amp up our business and learn new technics and ideas to help us grow, grow, grow! Being the only business like this in the state, we know that there will be copy cats so we need to get ahead of the game. What a better opportunity than this?
