My hometown, Pierpont had its fourth annual storytelling festival. I volunteered to perform at the talent show. The performance went along wonderfully; of course when I came out from the bathroom after changing into my costume, I got several amused looks from the audience. My grandparents were in the audience and they invited several of their friends from a nearby town. One couple were set on getting a picture of me in my talent costume.
During the show, I was ready to leave between performances to change into a cooler, more decent and civilized outfit. My mom stopped me in the middle, informing me that my grandparents’ friend wanted a picture of me with his wife with the Cat in the Hat outfit.
After the picture… I jumped back into civilized clothes, and one woman, Lois Severson who is a Headstart teacher for young children, approached me and handed me the stuffed Cat in the Hat character. She asked me if I could take the Cat in the Hat on my travels, taking picture of us at each location and write something about our experiences. So, this will be a warning for future blog entries, as you may notice another Cat telling his stories about traveling with the 2006-2008 NAD Miss Deaf America!
From here to there,
Funny things
Are everywhere.
Hey, Congrats to you being crowned as Miss Deaf America. Hope you will have good time traveling and give performances/workships.
