The unofficial kick-off to summer begins this Friday here in St. Francis, Pioneer Days 2010. Last year, I had so much fun meeting so many wonderful people, that I wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass to do it again.

My booth will be filled with a lot of great samples and displays and Roger (Our Family Turtle for the Turtle Races). I’ll also be holding a few different contests and having some fun games for the kiddies. So if you’re going to be around St. Francis June 12th or 13th, come and swing by Community Park and say hi. While you are there, take a guess at home many Skittles are in the jar. Below is a sneak peek. If you can’t make it to the park this weekend, feel free to leave a guess under the comment section here on my blog. The person who guesses the correct number (or the closest) will receive a jar of skittles, how awesome is that. Okay I’m kidding, but the winner will receive a complimentary photo session. If there is a tie, then we will have a skittle eating contest, or maybe we’ll just draw out of a hat. I will announce the winner on Monday, June 14th.

And here is Roger (or Kevin). My kids seem to think he looks like one of those two names, LOL. So maybe a combo of them both like Rovin or Keger, then again I’m not sure he is a he. Either way, Roger is a pretty fast turtle. Racing runs in his blood, and his ancestors have won many turtle races in the past. Let’s hope Roger is up for the challenge. The turtle races start at 11 a.m. so get there early, you don’t want to miss Rogers big debut!!
