Honfest 2009 : Day 2!

The Honfest fun continued on into Sunday evening with a dunk tank, belly dancers, fantastic music, food, drinks…and all the bubblegum in the world (story for another time)! Enjoy!!

The queen Hon! Quinn had a 6 foot tall cardboard Hon that she doodled made for the photobooth. Here she is!! Isn’t she lovely;)

And here is the fabulous doodler herself, Quinn of Quinnep Doodles. 

The belly dancers were unbelievable! 

After the belly dancers, the Hons took the stage for Bawlmer’s Best Hon Contest!

One of the runner ups! She was so excited!

Charlene is crowned Bawlmer’s Best Hon 2009!!

After Bawlmer’s Best Hon was crowned, Jaime and I headed over to the dunk tank to watch Denise Whiting and other’s get dropped into the ice cold dunk tank!

After Denise got dunked, we headed over to watch the Cold, Cold Heartbreakers perform! I found a family of Hons along the way! Hey Hons!

Hampden Jack!

honfest is an amazing festival that takes place on the streets of hampden – one of the most fabulous neighborhoods in baltimore! hampden is home to tons of inspiring artists and characters, and lots of just plain good people. the annual honfest is much more than a local tradition – it is truly an international craze! the classic baltimore (bawl-mer) term of endearment, hon (short for honey), is at the root of this exuberant celebration that honors the honest, hard-working, fun-loving women of baltimore. yeah hons!

this year i will be joining the blonde creative as we bring even more energy and excitement to the festival with an amazing booth featuring blonde photo, quinnep doodles, 5ringsphoto and mary kate mckenna photography! in addition to all sorts of surprises and fun, there will be raffles and giveaways, and a super-fun photo booth (complete with life sized hon- doodle!) to help capture the hon in everyone!
