Dance Festival 2012

 I have spent the last 5 months working on the costumes for our 6 Stake Dance Festival.  It was probably one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Luckily,  I didn't have to do it by myself.  I had loads of people helping with it.  Here are a few of the stats.  Thank you to all of you who helped!

Hours of service

Sewing hours- 4400 hrs

Stake Costume Chairs and assistants 600 hrs x 6 = 3600 hrs

Costume Chairperson = 800 hrs

Total hours by Costume committee = 8,850 hrs

Yards of fabric = Approx. 4600 yds of fabric

Number of costume pieces made = 3,680 pieces

Wow!  I am so amazed at how people stepped up to help the youth with their costumes!  These were only the costume hours.  Many more hours were put in by other stake leaders from all 6 stakes to make this happen. Here are some of the costumes that were made,  purchased or borrowed.
