This past weekend, for the third year in a row, I had the honor of being part of Jake's Crew - I was a volunteer at the Life is good Festival in Canton, MA. I was back with the ladies at the face painting tent, and we barely had a quiet moment the whole time we were open! Children and adults who were being children for the weekend came by for some designs on faces and hands or arms, and we had a blast being able to listen to music - and for me, I snuck away at times to grab some photos and videos.
 |
| My handiwork! I lost track of how many of this design I painted, but everyone kept sending festival-goers over to my chair because I guess they liked how I did it. I had 'customers' of all walks of life - all ages, all abilities. Each one had a different story, and it made me glad to brighten their day with a little face paint. |

"The Sound of Sunshine" - so much fun with beach balls!
 |
| I won a CD from one of my favorite local radio stations - Thanks, WERS! The ladies who were at the booth were pretty cool, and were some of the gals you hear on-air. Always helps when the people you turn to for your daily tunes are actually nice in real life, right? I smell a blogpost about this album in the future... |
 |
| I painted this! The girl who I painted it for put it on #Instagram, and found /liked one of the photos I took and tagged with #LIGfest. It's a small world! |
 |
| Going to be looking for the Unreal brand in stores! Their candy is so delicious, and isn't as bad for you as the other stuff out there! Their booth was next to mine, and the guys running it were so nice! |

I spent more time face-painting than I did enjoying music, but was so glad to be a part of such an amazing event. I can't wait for next year's festival already! I am definitely looking forward to checking out more music from ALO, Air Traffic Controller and Sarah Jarosz.
Did you go to the Life is good Festival? What was your favorite part? If you couldn't make it, who would you love to see there in the future?
