the conference in Nippissing

Note from Monty: Since there are a number of us in the family, I don't get to go on every Adventure. In this story (which happened quite a while ago) my best friend Donkey & (his girlfriend) Babetta got to go!

A few years ago now, Mum went on a big, important Adventure to North Bay, and Donkey & Babetta went with her. They drove up on a rainy October weekend on Mums motorcycle, to go to a conference held by some art people, all about how to make your art a business. Mums art is making Sock Animals!

The event was held at Nippissing University, and while Mum went to seminars on how to take pictures of your art, or how to pack your art for shipping, Donkey & Babetta hung around the campus. They got snacks and were told to keep out of trouble. Donkey is usually very good at keeping out of trouble, but Babetta is a bit boisterous, so she wanted to explore the place. They couldn't go outside & play because it was raining. They found a room with something on the chalk board, and pretended to have their own seminar. They also sat at the front desk and helped hand out papers.

Mum had a good time at the conference, meeting other art people, and thinking about how to start a business making toys!
