Boogie With Building Blocks Photo Filled Recap

ChiIL Mama was thrilled to sponsor Building Blocks Toys 15th Anniversary Bash on Saturday.   Shop owner, Katherine, was a gracious host to 500 people, one red, cuddly monster and two musicians from The Poochamungas Band.   As you can see from the smiles, everyone had a blast, despite a few intermittent showers.


There were toy filled goody bags for the first 150 families and a table overflowing with great raffle goodies.   We were happy to participate in the awesome lottery give aways, too.   We passed out hundreds of free, rockin' ChiIL Mama buttons and one lucky winner went home with:
