CityFest in San Diego

More sunburn in spite of sunblock.  Sigh.

But the event was great.  The organizers were *thrilled* to have us there to boost their appeal to families.  The only downside to the event was that my booth location did not have electricity for the fans so I had to use the little ones that run on battery power.  Thankfully the day was not scorching hot and the breeze did pick up in the late afternoon.

I had my first ever encounter with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.  They were at the event to point attendees in the direction of the children's storytime booth and the literary salon where authors were doing readings and taking questions in the book fair area of the festival.  They were happy to take a stack of my business cards and also direct parents with small children in the direction of the Mom's Breastaurant booth (coincidentally located right next to the storytime booth and literary salon )  The Sisters rocked!  Their assistance in alerting parents to MB's booth and service is hugely appreciated.

I hope to be working this event again next year.  Wearing stronger sunblock.

I've seen the "sisters" at a different festival. They look really cool. But maybe kinda scary if you are a kid. HMMM?

Congrats on the success. Did you get sunburned or the kiddos? Hope all are recovered.
