Hi there from sunny Lincoln, NE, not! My daughter Sadie and I are working the Lincoln Women's Expo. We set up our booths on Friday afternoon for the Saturday and Sunday show. We were excited to see that we were right next to the staging area. We knew what that meant right away. "Elvis!" Yes, he was in the building.
Joseph Hall, an Elvis impersonator, had scheduled shows for both days. At the last show he was at, our booth was in a different building and we couldn't enjoy it at all. Not this time. WOW, was he gorgeous! I thought maybe even better than the real deal. I was corrected by a seasoned lady that Elvis was pretty hot in his early days, too.
My friends tease me about my uncanny radar when it comes to noticing special attributes about people. In my travelings, I love to watch people. Now, I never intentionally look for strange and interesting things; I think they just find me. The fun is telling my friends when I return because they are sure to ask what "sitings" I had on this trip. (Sorry, I can't tell you about my sitings in Philadelphia last September. There would be too many "beeps.") Saturday at the expo I was just sure this lady was going to be an act on the nearby stage. I could tell by her 1/2" thick perfectly painted on arched brown eyebrows that she was going for the dramatic look. Nope, I was wrong. She was in the "Elvis" fan club!
It doesn't matter how far away I am from home, I can always make a connection somehow with people. Returning to this show after being in it last September, I remembered some previous customers and even what they bought. They were impressed with my memory. They don't know that I can't remember to balance my checkbook or get the oil changed on a regular basis.
When our shows are in towns with Community Action, it is always easier to explain who we are and what we are about. We were able to reference Lincoln Action Program which most people
were familiar with. Sadie visited with a local salon owner about becoming a vendor for our jewelry. We’ll see where that goes. The Lincoln Women’s Expo was a great show and had a lot to offer attendees. I wish the promoters success in the future in building their following. Once again we were blessed with a spectacular performance from the Lincolnaire Chorus. They sing so beautifully. I’ve included a picture of them serenading our booth. We had good sales and look forward to doing this show again next year. Sunday afternoon the wind turned cold and the flurries started. The wind put up a nasty fight on the way home.

It was amazing to see the ease in which Sadie can talk about our agency and the jewelry. She’s a natural salesperson. She, too, truly believes in our mission and is a great advocate. Makes her momma proud!
Tootles for now, Kyla
