Other Notes!

Mamapalooza Murfreesboro was amazing this past weekend. Thank you to everyone who came out and partied with us! Thanks to all of our wonderful performers (the Flatt Sisters, Pacha Mamas!, Tall Grass Studios, Carolyn Sledge, and Sugar Lime Blue). Our vendors did a great job of creating an attractive table! Such a good job that the entire crowd stayed in front of their tables all night long!
