First Night Success!
SO, all the struggle, all the pressure all the work… and it was all a great success! We arrived on site about 10:00am and by 1:30pm we had kids lining up to paint! Though we weren’t supposed to “start” till 2:00pm, we decided to go ahead and spin up the machines. We had a non-stop line of people running the machines from about 1:45pm till 11:10pm when we ran out of cards. We started with 800 cards so I know we had at least that many finished artworks by the end of the evening. When we ran low on cards later in the evening we started scrounging for cards that had been “rejected” earlier in the day due to paint drops of fingerprints and using those! 
I’ve begun to work on a video that shows how things went, but in the meantime you can check out this little gallery of some of the pictures taken here. As soon as I have the video ready, I’ll post it here. Thanks to all who sent emails for your support and encouragement!
