It was a truly unbelievable transformation of the Armory. What a Celebration….it was in the true meaning of celebrations,…incredbile scenery, amazing food, awesome entertainment, dancing on the “printing press”, hot outfits for sure, especially the “fashion show”…what’s hotter than “naked” I believe was mentioned in an earlier blog. Thanks Preston for a truly fun, inspirational, and incredible Celebration of Celebrations. The pictures and videos will speak for themselves I”m sure!!
