Longabeger* Bee- July

Ok, really behind here! Where has the summer gone??????

At the end of July we headed to the Longaberger* Bee. It's a convention for Longaberger* consultants where new products are introduced and many good times are had.

We made a visit to Dresden*, home of the world's largest basket*, a Longaberger* basket of course!

One of the many fun things about the Bee are the Bee Boyz* These are regular Longaberger* employees 51 weeks a year, like basket makers, office personal, woodcraftsmen, etc., but when the Bee rolls around they are celebrities hamming it up for the masses. They dance, joke, entertain and are just plain fun to be around. Last year M was terrified of them. This year she told me she was not going to be afraid. Well, the first evening we headed into the convention center there they all were. They were dancing and posing for pictures. M was a little hesitant when one first approached her, but I reminded her she wasn't going to be afraid and that was all it took. As she sat to pose for her photo, she proudly showed them her purse and informed them it was a Longaberger*. As you can see in the pic, they got quite a kick out of that!

Here's my big girl with the Bee Boyz*.


Here are the Boyz in action on the big stage. This year they even had their own beehive. M got soo excited every time they came on stage.

During the convention there are displays set up showing new and existing products with ideas for usage. This garden market was M's favorite. She enjoyed playing with the market wares.
