OK. The first of a two part series on: What it's like to win an Art Contest!Emma was one of the guests of honor at the lighting of the Zilker Park Christmas Tree. The night truly belonged to a friend's daughter, Jane Addison. She is the little sister of one of Max's classmates. She won the Junior division of the Zilker Christmas Tree Contest and got to flip the switch to turn on the lights. Very cool honor!
We got there about an hour early for our front row seats, so got to watch the sun set on a beautiful, unseasonably warm December night. There was an orchestra and a huge elementary school choir providing music while we waited.
Sue Flores, Bryker Woods Art Teacher, with four of the six winners in the contest. (She is really a great art teacher!)
Emma with Judy Maggio, our longtime local newscaster
and master of ceremonies for the evening.
The crowd awaits! And Jane is being interviewed by a reporter...
Emma chats with the Mayor, Will Wynn.
Max, with classmates Noah and Ellie--Ellie is big sister to Junior Art winner, Jane.
Where else, but our cool city, does the Mayor show up for a big event in his shorts and flip flops?
Jane and the Mayor flip the switch!
Happy Joey!
