Wyatt Visits Sixes Fall Festival. Were You There?

Lots of schools have fall festivals and the one I work at is no exception.  Last night was the Fall Festival for Sixes Elementary and there was something for everyone there.  There were decorated pumpkins to bid on.  Here's one of my favorites:

Here's another:

There was a silent auction:

When I was a kid, my favorite thing at the school festival was the cake walk...

Unfortunately, I've never won even a tiny cupcake at a cake walk.  NEVER.  My daughter Hayley however used to win so often at her school that I would beg her to quit.  Sometimes we went home with three or four cakes.  I guess she was making up for my unlucky streak.

The fun part of the festival for me was participating in the Sixes Market where Wyatt and I got to meet lots of new people. Here's Joyce Willis who made some amazing Wyatt cookies for our book launch tomorrow.

She sold lots of delicious cookies at her booth.  Check out Joyce's website if you want to order some for a special occasion.

Behind Joyce is author, Jordan Crowl's booth.

He has created some amazing books for kids called Ed's Journal.  Each book is about a different character quality including self-control, leadership and dependability.  Check out his website for some great books on character education,  Ed's Journal

We also met Shannen Yauger who sells adorable rompers and hair accessories for little children.  Here's an example of her wares:

Her items were adorable and it made me wish my girls were toddlers again just so I could shop with her.

The best part of the night though was that Wyatt and I got to talk with lots of parents, teachers and children about his adventures!  Even the babies love Wyatt.  Here's three month old Ryan Bobo who is fascinated by Wyatt books:

What a great evening we had!!  Thank you Sixes PTA for inviting us and putting on such a great event.

Don't forget that tomorrow is the official book launch for Wyatt's newest book:

We'll be having a book launch, a birthday party and benefit for MUST ministries at my house! If you can't make the party at my house check out the Wyatt website for specials related to the book launch.  See you soon!!!

The Bonus I've Been Promising at the Book Launch for Wyatt

In last week's post I hinted at the bonus I've prepared for anyone purchasing a Wyatt the Wonder Dog book on September 30th.  It's a book launch for my newest Wyatt book;  Wyatt the Wonder Dog Goes to Kindergarten.  I've invited a few friends and family to my house for the book launch which is also a benefit for MUST ministries.  I'm really excited about the party and have several special surprises for my guests as well.  I'll include pictures and details in next week's blog.

Since it's a book launch and my birthday (!) I wanted to give everyone a gift who purchases a Wyatt book on September 30th.  I didn't want to announce the gift too soon, just in case it didn't pan out but I spent yesterday with Chris Owensby, choir director at my church and we created an audio recording of each of the Wyatt books which I will include with each book purchased.  This is a great addition to the Wyatt books and now younger children can listen to the story while looking at the book!  Although the books are available online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble as well at these local bookstores, Yawn's Books and More and Acworth Bookstore, the audio recording will ONLY be available when you purchase the book through my website: Wyatt the Wonder Dog.

I hope to see you either at the party or online for this great event!!!!
