I Need You...

Your pictures, that is! As most of you know, for awhile now I've been asking people to email me their holiday pictures so I could use them in my Christmas light show.

No? Don't know what I'm talking about? Let me explain...


My best friend and I have come up with a new effect for Winter Light! We are going to project YOUR pictures that you send in during certain sections of the show. Why? Because this year's theme is Memories, and what better way to incorporate memories and stories than through pictures? A picture is worth a thousand words, and since our show isn't very long, we are using pictures instead of telling several thousand word stories.

Here's the deal: Find a picture of you and your family or friends in the snow, in front of the Christmas tree, opening presents on Christmas morning, drinking hot chocolate in-front of your own Christmas lights, the list goes on. As long as it's related to Christmas or winter, we will accept it.

We ask that you email your pictures to this address: ehurdag@hotmail.com

However, all I need is to save the picture to my computer, so if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, just send me a message or tweet with your picture and I can grab it.

We  need a ton of pictures, roughly around 100 or more. The more the better though.
Since this project is quite large, and we still have a lot of other things to work on, the deadline to send your pictures in is October 28th. Please don't wait until the last minute, send them in as soon as you can.

You could find more information about this Here.
And don't forget to like us on Facebook to stay updated on all things Christmas and Halloween.
We also have an Event on Facebook going, so please "attend" and "share" it with your friends. Again, the more pictures the better!

If, for any reason, you have a question, I encourage you to ask, via email or comment on this post.


Thank you for helping us to create the best year ever for Winter Light! I promise, you won't want to miss this!

The Fair Is Approaching

Well, September is here and my local fair is approaching. As some of you know, I love my fairs. I take fairs very seriously. I have been involved within the fair since I was 6 years old, and I still am. Over the course of these past 14 years, I have shown rabbits and sheep, and have entered things into contests like a rock collection, pictures, food, etc.

I have also been on the Kern County Jr. Fair Board all through high school, and now I'm currently an adviser for them. Through this I have had the experience to set up booths, do activities with the audience on different stages, play my violin before contests start (as well as various games, anything to keep the audience entertained while waiting), and help out in every department imaginable. I have had the opportunity to briefly work with the CEO and others that make the fair happen each year, and I was able to get my 2 cents in.

The fair is a great thing for family, and community entertainment. Every year I encourage everyone to go once, or twice, or everyday. It helps your community, and there is SO much hardwork people put into every detail that needs to be appreciated. Please, go to your local fair. Yes, it's going to cost you. But I promise it's worth it! Family memories.. :)
