Today was the day of the Tri-Pride Event that all of us volunteers
looked forward to since the first "Meet & Greet" on April 28/10. It
started at noon, and ended at...?
I made it for about 1:45PMish,
and found where I was to "tend a booth". Once there, the lady I was
stepping in for went for lunch. It wasn't very active at my booth, but I
got some great pics. while there. Once she returned, I hung out for a
few more minutes before leaving to continue with the pic. taking!!!
I
started at the end of all the display tables, and worked my way down
the line (apparently I was going the wrong way... lol). Once done with
the Silent Auctions Display tables, I continued down the line and
crossed over to the entertainment. Unfortunately, I really MUST bring
myself a little chair to sit on... lol Got some GREAT pics. of a
FAVORITE skit!!! (Battery change here) And got to get some more
"vendors" booths before leaving the main entertainment area. Then I
ventured out, to start on the rest of the booths.
As I
looked down the path I thought, "we've got a LOT of booths going on
here today... let's hope my camera lasts". I started to contiue down
the line, doing both sides at the same time. This only worked until I
found some areas that were like entering into the area of a bay
window... lol That's ok though... found some friends here. Hello Megan
Goos (U Rock recycled clothing), Kate & Gord (Mom's Tattoo Shop),
Roller Derby Girls, etc... As I finished the 2nd "bay window area", my
camera batteries were dying once again. Now for the 'Quick aim, turn
on power, click, turn off power' game with my camera... HOORAY!!! It
worked for getting the rest of the booths!!! But just bearly... LOL
After
which I returned to the main entertainment area to take some more
"crowd shots", and discovered some unexpected friends. Nice to see just
as I'm about done here... lol
Unfortunately covering the "Who's
here at booths" aspect can cause missing out on the entertainment
somewhat, so I didn't get many of those pics. Maybe next year I'll get
there earlier for both, and I will actually have a chance to go home to
download some pics. before it all starts. As I have discovered my
camera's pic. holding limit to be around 250... lol
All
in all, it was GREAT to see sooo many coming out to attend, and support
this Event!!! And I will gladly volunteer for next year also if they
need me.
