The Humongous Fungus Party

We're having our first ever Humongous Fungus Party on Thursday, March 15th at the Daybreak Community Center in South Jordan, Utah. I'm really excited about this event!! Everyone is invited to attend!

We'll have an interactive reading of the book by the authors (Mom and Me, A.K.A. Periwinkle Blue) and Amber Dawn Anderson, Nashville singer/songwriter, is going to be performing songs about THE HUMONGOUS FUNGUS. Amber is teaming up with Kim Carroll, popular Irish-born composer known for his work on Disney films, to create an album of songs about THE HUMONGOUS FUNGUS.

Also be having mouth-watering cupcakes by Emily-Sue's Cupcakery.

A recipe tasting from the Southern Diva herself--Page Hopkins. She'll be giving us a sneak-peak at some recipes from her new southern cookbook coming out this year.

The evening will be topped off with imaginative and fanciful decorations by the extremely talented, Style Sisters. Check out their work here.

Oh, and we'll have Humongous Fungus t-shirts. And we'll be giving away door prizes! It's going to be sooo much fun!! I can't wait!

A reading of THE HUMONGOUS FUNGUS

Yesterday, Mom and I shared THE HUMONGOUS FUNGUS with my niece's first-grade class. It was soooo much fun to see their expressions and to hear their comments. Talk about some smart kids!! They got the message instantly! It was a fun experience and one that we hope we'll get to repeat quite often. Nothing is more rewarding to an author than sharing the reading experience with others. It's what keeps me doing what I do. :-)
