"TooeleMommies" turns 1 year old!

Happy 1 year old birthday to Tooele Mommies! They are a FREE online moms' group located in Tooele, UT, and this month they are celebrating their one year birthday! They asked us to DJ it, and we were honored! This was a very fun celebration with hula hoop contests, a limbo contest, a dance-off, and many other fun events. The mommies did a GREAT job with the macarena, but were a little bit thrown off when we sped it up and slowed it down! :) Join the fun by visiting them at www.tooelemommies.com

Hugs for Life is a Suicide Prevention Program. They will be having their annual fundraiser and car show Saturday, October 18th at Murray Park (this event was originally scheduled for October 11th and has been changed). We have participated as one of their sponsors.

Because this event has been changed from the 11th to the 18th, we will be at Gardner Village, and we will not be at this event, but take a minute and visit their Car Show! We were there last year and had a BLAST! There are a lot of fun cars to see!
