Whew! Last week was AWESOME busy!!! We had such a great time with 2 days of mini-sessions, an Open House with a live radio remote hosted by DJ Peace, the MHHS Homecoming Parade, AND a fabulous Business After Hours Party at the studio.

jclare studios director Carolanne Sacry Feiste welcomed our guests, encouraging them to sign up for door prizes and to enter the fabulous contest we held that night (more on that later).

The evening was full of fun, delicious goodies from 8th Street Bakery and Cafe, and great neworking for businesses.

The winners of the Door Prizes were:

*Kim Crow Sheaner--jclare studios Business Portrait Session with a high-res digital negative on disc

*Kerry Kanatzar--$50 El Chico Gift Certificate

*George Truell--jclare studios Business Portrait Session with a high-res digital negative on disc

For our fellow Chamber of Commerce business associates that came to the party, we had a fun bubble-gum blowing contest! Each brave participant gave it their best shot (or sometimes more) in order to be in our lovely gallery below and now we are asking for YOU to vote for the BEST BUBBLE BLOWER!!!

So, YOU decide which bubble is the best! :)

We had fabulous cookies featuring the jclare studios logo and delicious mini-cupcakes in our jclare studios colors--made by the fabulous 8th Street Bakery and Cafe! Thanks to Danielle and her crew for the yummy treats!

And now (drumroll please) for the competition! We had an AWESOME crowd (the studio was packed front to back and wall to wall!) but not everyone was brave enough to be in the competition! (And some of us couldn't compete due to some dental issues!) For those that would and could, here they are... Let us know which one YOU think has the BEST bubble!!! :)

May the games begin!

Homecoming week was a big celebration for all Bomber students…Haley is shown here dressed in Bomber Spirit Week Attire !

Haley wasn't competing in the bubble-gum blowing at this point, we just thought she looked so darn cute in her spirit outfit for Homecoming Week, that we had to get a fun pose!

Contestants #21 and #22--yes, it was FUN trying to get those bubbles, sometimes we were all just laughing!!!

OK, Contestestants #21, #22, #23, #24, #25 and #26...WHERE were their bubbles?!? It seems that some were working on them, but this was their best shot for the group bubbles--ummm, y'all might want to get some bubble gum and practice at home! :) We loved this family coming by, they are a riot!

Oh my goodness...this isn't a contest entry, but I cannot resist posting some of our jclare crew giving it our best shot for the best bubbles! ;)
