A Free Weekend

The Silverscreen Film Festival was this weekend! Steve directed a film for it. For those of you who do not know what the Silverscreen Film Festival is, it was established in 2008 and originally featured students from the University of Missouri and Stephens College. In 2009, without any additional marketing, Silverscreen expanded to four institutions in Missouri – University of Missouri, Stephens College, William Woods University and Truman State University. This year there were thirteen films entries. On Friday night they had a screening of all thirteen films. It was so much fun to see all the other people's film ideas. On top of that, everything there was free! They had free popcorn, raffle tickets and ice cream! I won a free t-shirt from the raffle drawing! :) Steven's film won "Best Drama" and he received a gift bag of all sorts of free stuff! Right next door to the film festival was a free activity called "Beading Bonanza"! They had free drinks, Shakespeare's Pizza, and tables of free supplies to make any type of jewelry you wanted! It was so neat! Margaret and I each made a bracelet! It was fun!




Saturday during the day Karlee, Margaret and I decided to take a walk in a park! The weather was so nice, and not too hot! We had a great time! The trails were so pretty with the fresh green leaves of spring and a ton of wild flowers!
