Today was the Rock Canyon Extravaganza, the highlight of the school year for many children, and the annual fundraiser for the PTA. As the PTA president, Mikayla has been in charge. She is really good at being in charge of anything, and this year's Extravaganza was no exception.
For weeks and weeks, preparations have been made. Over the past couple of days, preparations have intensified. I went over to Mikayla's house last night to help finish balloon arches. I invited Kent, Brandt, and Isabella to help, and they all agreed they would. In fact, Brandt volunteered to be Rocky the Roadrunner, the school mascot.
Because I work late on Fridays, I did not arrive until nearly the end of the event. Kent, Gregg Pugmire, and Julian, one of Brandt's friends, had been thoroughly engaged in serving food the whole three hours of the event. They prepared and sold dozens and dozens of hot dogs. They ran out and Kent was dispatched to Day's Market to buy all they had in stock. Brandt circulated all around, shaking kids' hands and being in pictures.
At the end of the evening, the whole affair was deemed a huge success. Lots of money was raised, a few children were lost but then they were found, and a good time was had by all.
I spy with my little eye someone else's little eye!
