We
successfully made it through the Signs of Spring Craft and Trade Show! Thank
you to all the Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska staff that helped set up. It feels more like an agency event when you
are there! We had volunteers come and
work in the Beads in a Box booth. They had a great time and we really
appreciated their commitment.

Not
knowing my involvement with Beads in a Box, one customer mentioned that I
should move that jewelry booth when you first come in because it causes such a
stir. I thought, “YEAH! That’s what we
want!”
We ended up having 204 booths for our record breaker and customers were
circulating all day even though the weather was causing some stress for the
Show Promoter. For us oldies, we also
appreciate all the young legs and strong backs when it comes time to tear it
all down.
In our April newsletter we touched on the huge push for the Sandhill
cranes. We put them in several stores and now we wait to see if there is any
success. Hopefully, it won’t be a let-down.
With the huge push on Bazangles and preparing for the Signs of Spring
Craft Show, the development department has been looking for a slow-down. Well,
the slow-down consisted of preparing for the CSBG monitoring and the Board of
Directors’ meeting.
A large bulk mailing is almost ready to go stuffed with the
applications for the Holiday Splendor show in November.
In April we mentioned
that the Nebraska Historical Society asked us to create specific Nebraska
tourism Bazangles. Janice has been working hard on that and we have wonderful
prototypes to send to them.
On May 8th,
Beads in a Box is having an open house for Mother’s Day at the Kearney Woman’s
Club from 3:30-7:00 p.m. The month of May, we will be preparing new designs and
display boards for Bazangles to make its debut at the American Crafters and
Retailers Expo Wholesale Show in Las Vegas.
Thinking seasons ahead, we must be preparing fall and Christmas holidays
for displays. We’re so glad we got some wonderful volunteers! The Development
office and the Beads in a Box room remain in the whirlwind!
Tootles for now,
Kyla
