Flint Hills International Children's Festival in St. Paul May 30th

Erica Nego, Miss Minnesota USA 2009 and I went to the Flint HIlls International Children's Festival together--she is sweet and gorgeous as you can see! Erica was in the top 15 at the Miss USA pageant and is currently making a multitude of appearances across the country.

This morning, I welcomed everyone to the event and introduced Sol del Soul for some salsa, and Erica introduced a very interesting group who flew half way around the world to perform. Theater, arts and crafts and music were abound for children and families---we loved the Butterfly museum and my daughter Chloe had fun coloring at the various booths. A singing garden and an artistic parade of children representing the different cultures celebrated around the world. Chloe was afraid of the dragons until we showed here that there were children underneath it making it dance around.
