The Final Stretch to Fabulous

Goodness...the days have zoomed by at freight train speed and our Decades of Style show is only 4 days away.

It was Tuesday and chaos was still evident during our final/dress rehearsal. It measured closer to a 5.2 on the Richter scale rather than 8.5 from the week before. And, even though hearts were racing, and not all the cast was there, and the piano had undergone some final lacquer work which meant it couldn't be there either—we forged boldly forward with emcee, stylists, models, singers, dancers, pianist, props crew, and all. Below you can see Saphire, Chalce and Molly singing their hearts to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, for the Red Carpet Party.



Then it was Wednesday and Thursday and the mad dash was on, in every direction. The Hi-Def video clip was in final editing stages with Mark Donohue and Carina Camamile selecting music beds, adding title cards, and Mark (below) later finished a Chiari People logo animation.



In the meantime, additional gift donations arrived on our doorstep, such as several amazing sports collectibles from Jeff Maguire that included a bright red boxing glove signed by Oscar De La Hoya himself and a football autographed by Peyton Manning; and, from the Hilton, we received weekend getaways for several of the Hilton hotels around Montana; beautifully framed photos from Beck Hample and so on. The kindness of Billings' individuals and businesses definitely brought us that warm fuzzy feeling.

thank you so much, from the DoS team
