Guests were greeted by a children's choir and bubble machines flocked the entryway. 30 momprenuer vendors filled the foyer and two side ballrooms where guests found amazing goodies from Comfortably Fun, Wondertoast, and Shady Baby. Passed fancy carnival fare included milkshake shots with oreo cookies, corn dogs and fruit loops in Asian spoons. Over 100 items were featured in the silent auction.

The little ones enjoyed their own bar, face painting and balloon animals. Hula Hoops, Spin Art, life sized Jenga and Connect Four kept everyone entertained.
In the afternoon, the main event took the stage as the runway show began. 40 adult models and 40 kids modeled the spring fashions of local Denver and Boulder boutiques including Blush, Loft 22, Tallulah Jones, and Real Baby. Here is a shot of me thanking our sponsors and over 40 volunteers!
