Highlights from the August 23rd event.
 


The Tri - State (Ohio - Indiana - Kentucky) was in the house. There seemed to be a whole different
group of attendees then the first event held in March.


The College Hill Rec Center  was a great host. 
We look forward to holding other event there in the near future.  Several attendees brought
 a Pot Luck dish to share so everyone had plenty share
 

Hello to all of you Happy Nappy folks,

"OUTSTANDING"; "FABULOUS"; "HOW WONDERFUL"!! were just a few of the comments we heard from attendees and vendors alike at the 2nd Naptural Hair Day in the 'Nati at College Hill Recreation Center in Cincinnati.   The event was co-sponsored by Pat Hunley of Diva D'zigns and Elaniece Alstork of Kentucky Kinks and ushered in a new era of networking and in the tri-state area.

 Over 100 happy nappies and wannabes packed the place.  All ages and in all stages from transitioning to elder locs were in attendance.  Many natural hairstyles were represented from dreads, nubian locks, palm rolls, afro puffs, twists, fros and the latest natural hair management system to hit the midwest, Sisterlocks, was seen in the place.

 It was a time of sharing, networking, and edu-tainment.  The fantastic vendors helped contribute to the full day of sharing and learning.

 Attendees were treated to a session on how to create and attach loc jewelry by Pat Hunley of Diva D'zigns as well as a mini-session on headwraps using everyday clothing.

We took the time to exchange hair stories, natural hair tips and introduce fantastic products from some incredible local entrepreneurs.

 Oh! we almost forgot to mention that it wasn't only about networking and education but the food was the bomb!  Whoever made those fantastic hot wings can get our business anytime!

 While we are still recovering, you get prepared for our next event!

 Thanks to all who attended and participated,

 

Pat and Elaniece
