Ethiopian Cultural Festival

On September 29th, the Ethiopian Cultural Festival took place at Pheonix Park in Eau Claire, thanks to Partners for Ethiopia. And it was great on so many levels. Our very kind friend who organized the festival offered us a table to sell some fundraising goods, and we gladly accepted! (side note: Dean whipped up our display stand in less than 30 minutes with some scrap wood in our garage. #proudwife.)



We sold Apparent Project bracelets from Haiti, Africa Christmas ornaments, and some crafty things too. It was an awesome opportunity for some fundraising and we're so thankful for those who stopped by and purchased some things!

What a salesman!

It was good for my heart to experience some of the culture of our future child. I have so much to learn and want to embrace every opportunity to do so! There were so many beautiful families that attended and we met others that share our passion for adoption. A community of support, honesty, and encouragement is such a blessing. God has been so good to place us right where He has in life right now.



Thank you so much to the Partners for Ethiopia folks who made this lovely event happen and for allowing us to be involved. Thanks too to my awesome Mom who helped manage our booth. We hope this becomes an annual event!
