I remember going to the circus when I was little.

FREE Concert in the Park with Chart-topping Performer

Mark your calendars if you're a big fan of '80's love tunes.  One of the kings of sappy '80's/'90's long haired, whispery love ballads is Richard Marx. He will be performing live in Andover's Central Park on June 22nd
Sponsored by the Andover Convention and Visitor's Bureau and BOB-FM, the concert is free, but does require picking up advance tickets at a list of select businesses. 

Andover is using this as a sort of "experiment" of sorts to gauge whether the city is ready for it's own outdoor amphiteater.  (Emphatically I claim "YES!" as an Andover resident myself.) Andover is set to continue to grow and the city is examining whether that growth will be residential or commercial.  Announcements were made this week of a new Middle School and High School to be built on the North end of the city.  (Read about it here)

Any-hoo, Richard Marx is a pretty big name to be gracing the Andover stage, he has sold more than 30 million albums in his 3 decade career as performer, songwriter and producer.  His latest look is sans long feathered hair, but I always loved his songs anyway.  

Announcements for the list of places to get tickets will be on the BOB-FM website on May 24th. Hope to see you at the concert!

First ever Kids Only Garage Sale

Trendy Tots Resale Shop and the City of Bel Aire are hosting the first ever Kids ONLY Garage Sale Saturday, June 8th, 9am - 12pm.

At this KIDS ONLY event, kids are invited to sell, shop and trade their toys, games, books, and sporting equipment to other kids. Each registered kids gets a booth from which to sell their stuff, and they are encouraged to do their own pricing, bargaining and trading/swapping in order to learn the value of business, handling money and recycling.

There is NO FEE to register and kids keep 100% of their profits. No clothing, household items or food allowed and all items must be clean and in working order. Recommended for children ages 6-16, and parent supervision is required for children under age 12.

Kids are welcome to shop even if they do not have a booth, and admission is free.

This community service project is the idea of Trendy Tots Resale Shop owner Chenay Sloan who was looking for a way to teach her own children the value of resale and a way to earn their own money. She shared the idea with other Moms and families and was able to put together this first sale that is a first of it's kind in the Wichita area.

You can find more information about the event and get your own kids registered at the Trendy Tots website under the Kids Only Garage Sale tab, or call the shop at 316-634-6996.  View the PDF flier for the event on Google Drive here.

Teacher Appreciation Week - provide funding or materials online to projects you wish to support

Teacher Appreciation Week is the week of May 6th this year (2013).  Gifts and treats are surely appreciated as teachers work so hard for our kids to help them excel and succeed.
Perhaps you had a teacher that made a difference in your life, or there was a special project she did with your class that made a lifelong impact on who you are?  You can help other teachers around the country who are looking for help with donations/funding with their projects at donorschoose.org

Donorschoose.org is an online charity where teachers from around America post for help with their classroom projects. Donors look at their requests and pick which projects to help with.  You can give as little as a dollar, and if the project doesn't get fully funded, the money is returned to you as a credit with which you can then donate to another project or use to send the teacher a gift card.
Search for projects by type, ie:  art projects, science, funding for books, field trips, math and even search for projects by zip code so you can give back to your community schools.
Started by a Social Studies teacher in the Bronx so that individuals could connect directly with classrooms to provide needs that weren't funded.

Making a difference for a teacher can then help them make a difference for a generation of students!

Thank you teachers! We appreciate you!

Orchids for Mother's Day and how to care for them


*the following is a guest post from The Fresh Market.

MAKE MOM FEEL CHERISHED WITH ORCHIDS FROM THE FRESH MARKET
Specialty Grocer Offers Flowering Favorites for Mother’s Day

GREENSBORO, N.C. (May 7, 2013) – The Fresh Market is proud to offer fresh and fragrant flowers for the women who deserve it most!  And with Mother’s Day right around the corner, the specialty grocer wants to make selecting the perfect gift effortless.  The Fresh Market’s floral department offers affordable and long-lasting flowers, including a stunning array of orchids in various colors.

SpottedOrchid_shortHistorically, orchids are a symbol of rare and delicate beauty, making them an ideal Mother’s Day gift.  Orchids are known for their cheerful colors, require minimal care and can provide six to eight weeks of blooms on a single stem. Orchids are a signature item at The Fresh Market and its stores offer a variety of sizes and price points in these exquisite blooms.

Below are a few helpful tips from The Fresh Market to ensure the flowers remain bright and beautiful for as long as possible.

·         Light:  Place in a bright to medium light location.  Avoid direct sunlight.  Indirect sunlight is recommended.
·         Water:  Water once a week, with a half cup of water.  When watering, let water run freely through the pot.  Most orchids tolerate being dry better than being too wet.  If the moss feels moist, do not water.
·         Temperature:  Blooming 65-75°F; after blooming 75-85°F (Growing)
·         Cutting and repotting:   After the bloom is finished cut the base of the stem. Repotting should be done after blooming. After repotting, we recommend 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 fertilizer.
