June 19, 2008
Thursday is a Busy Day this year. We started by entering in the competition. Then off to the first Meal event, The Photo Shoot Luncheon. Mattel sponsored this event and put on a great program. Each of us got a Reem Acra Bride doll. Dolls are sent directly to the Conventioneers home so we didn't even have to think about shipping! The Convention gave us a card good for $50 in the salesroom! How great is that!! After Lunch it was off to the raffle room to buy tickets and choose the items we wanted to win. Then to view the competition Judging and go to the Salesroom. Last item of the day was the screening of the Movie Funny Face so we could see if we could guess which dress would be on the Convention Souvenir Doll!
Enjoy!
