Portola Valley Schools Foundation Holds Gala


Many moons ago we met a fabulous mommy who invited us over to her home for Halloween night. One of our performers, Miss Faerie Nixie, was invited to hand out candy to the neighborhood and add her sparkle to the magical night.  A few months later, we crossed paths again when she invited me to perform at her son's birthday celebration as our Silly Circus Girl! We were very honored to visit her family twice...and then she asked us if we only perform for children's events.  She had a celebration in mind that would require us to put our thinking caps on!

She invited us to a very special Gala held at the Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto on May 16th, 2009.  Hundreds of mommies, daddies, and friends gathered together to raise money for Portola Valley Schools with live auctions and a beautiful dinner.  Happily Ever Laughter was invited to bring their theme to life...The Emerald City! 

After several hours, and many rhinestones later, I finished a Good Witch gown and Miss Faerie Maple finished her Ruby Red Slippers.  We entered the Gala as Glinda and Dorothy and entertained the guests for 3 hours! Dorothy (Miss Maple) was quite sad to auction off 'Toto', a beautiful Labradoodle that she had cared for the entire evening.  *smile*

It was such a lovely way to spend an evening after a big day of balloon twisting and face painting.  We were able to be completley royal, play completely different characters from our Children's Parties, and find out that...yes! we absolutely make even the grown-ups smile!

Stay tuned for photos!
