Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.

This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need. 

Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure.  And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 50+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.  NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.  This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.

Happy Birthday

4/10/2022

 
**This a late posting**
April 9, 1982 was good Friday.  At 10:21am that day, I was born.  My mother and grandmother were chilling in her room when she said, "I feel the head" and a Queen was born shortly after.  Today I turned 40 years old and I in no way shape or form feel it.  I remember how I feel turning 18, 21, 25, 30, and none of it compared to how amazing I feel today.  I feel so blessed to see another year.  I feel like my body is enjoying it.  I have brain tumors so for me this is a special time.  Thank you to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday and gave me a gift.  Welcome to the 40s!

Why do we celebrate Labor Day?

9/6/2021

 
So, most people really have no idea why we celebrate Labor Day.  So, I thought it would be a great time to write an article about.  So, before I begin … why do you think we celebrate it?  I have always thought it was an extra day off for labor workers because they worked so hard back in the day. 
 
“Labor Day is an annual celebration of workers and the labor force's achievements. The idea is to recognize and honor the American labor movement and the ways in which American workers have contributed to the country's success over the years.” (Marca, 2021)
 
Labor Day is the brain child of Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, who in 1882 thought labor workers needed to be celebrated also.  Peter first proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union and on September 5, 1882 the first Labor Day was celebrated.  Congress made it an official US holiday in 1894.
 
So, Labor Day is the day we get to celebrate and thank people that do the thankless jobs we do not think about.  Those people include, people that work on our roads, railroads, construction, truck drivers, etc. 
 
So I want to say thank you to all the people out there building and transporting our stuff around this big ol’ country.
