I'm on the arts council for Gardiner. It's mostly fun and I really enjoy being able to bring some great acts into our small town but sometimes it seems like a LONG process. Especially during board meetings. We had our first performance this past Heidi was point person for the Montana Repertory Theatre. They were scheduled to perform Mark Twain's "The Diaries of Adam and Eve." The play is hilarious by the way. Absolutely wonderful. This group is always a joy to work with and the scenery was absolutely perfect. In an effort to bring more people in, Heidi not only advertised in the local newsletter, she hung posters and even threw a pre-show shindig. It was really fun, lots of food, lots of people, and a gorgeous sunset. Montana is so great for those.
After the show, we had a cake walk. It was a grand success and enjoyed by all. Last year we had attempted the musical chairs version (walk around in a circle, eliminate one chair and then one person each time). This year, we did the put-the-numbers-on-a-chair-and-then-pick-the-number-from-a-hat-for-people-to-win version. I was in charge of that part. I'm bossy so it works. We made enough money to cover our incidental expenses. Yay!
The night before, Allie and I made/finished our cakes over at Carrie's house while Heidi finished up her appetizers. My cake is on the left, Allie models her cake on the right. Heidi was finishing up her crab (crack) dip and putting it on fancy bread with lettuce. It was SO GOOD. She also made up her fancy beverages.
At the same time, we were watching Trailer Park Boys. If you've never seen this show, you really, really need to get it from Netflix. Canadians are funny, who knew?
You know who else is funny? Americans. Just check out the ants on a log and decorations that Allie and Heidi cooked up.
