You know what I've learned lately?

Never build your business on rented land.

Social media groups can change their rules, remove your posts, or limit your reach overnight.

That's exactly why I've been pouring my heart into building CCFY—a place where local businesses can actually be found, celebrated, and connected long-term. Not just until an algorithm changes or someone decides your post no longer belongs.

Every setback has reminded me why this vision matters.

My goal has never been to compete with anyone. It's to create a place where our local community can discover amazing businesses, celebrate life's biggest moments, and help each other grow.

So if you've been following this journey, thank you. 💜 Every visit, every share, every recommendation helps me build something that no one can take.

See me tomorrow- for my last public face painting event.... For the year? 🤗

See y'all tomorrow!

Kids are going to have a blast at tomorrow's Red, White & Blues Brothers Community Block Party!

We've put together a day full of FREE family-friendly games and activities, and every child can play for the chance to win fun prizes!

Stop by and enjoy:
• Giant Jenga
• Co****le
• Ring Toss
• Duck Pond
• Inflatable Limbo
• Tic-Tac-Toe
• Face Painting
• Crafts
…and plenty of smiles along the way!

But the fun doesn't stop with the games! Families can also enjoy:
• Live entertainment throughout the day
• A special performance of our National Anthem by Santiago Pinkney, Assistant Music Director for Seussical Jr.
• A sneak peek at our upcoming production of Seussical Jr.
• Meet members of the Sons of the American Revolution
• Visit with our local Police Department, Fire Department, and Mounted Police
• Food trucks, local vendors, karaoke, improv, and so much more!

Love seeing young performers shine? This is just the beginning! Our talented youth will take the stage again when Seussical Jr. opens July 24–26. As an added bonus, every performance will begin with Storyville, presented by our Advanced Theater Camp students—a wonderful showcase of the next generation of performers before the curtain even rises on Seussical Jr.

After the daytime festivities, keep the celebration going with the Blues Brothers R***e concert at 7:00 PM. It's the perfect way to wrap up an amazing day of community fun!

Join us tomorrow from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a day where kids can play, families can make memories, and tomorrow's stars can begin their journey on the Stage West stage. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

💜 A quick CCFY update + party planning reminder 💜

As many of you know, I’ll be having back surgery soon, which means face painting will be temporarily unavailable until I’m cleared during recovery. I hate having to pause that part of what I do, because bringing fun to your events is one of my favorite things.

BUT — CCFY is still here to help make your celebrations amazing. 🎉

If you haven’t checked it out lately, Celebrating with CCFY was built to be more than just a page — it’s a growing celebration hub designed to help you plan the perfect party, event, or special occasion all in one place. From vendors and ideas to inspiration and local connections, my goal has always been to make party planning easier, more fun, and way less overwhelming.

So while I may be stepping back from face painting for a bit, I’d still love for you to: ✨ Explore the website
✨ Check out the amazing vendors featured there
✨ Use it when planning birthdays, showers, weddings, markets, and special events
✨ Share it with friends who need party help

CCFY was built with a whole lot of heart, and I’d love to see it continue helping families and businesses connect while I take the time I need to heal. 💜
