Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack 2013: Mid-Atlantic Family Send Off Party

The Mid-Atlantic Leather Family 2013 (with send-off cake!)

August 3, 2013- Hooker & Boys hosted the Send Off Party at Hooker Hilton in Baltimore MD for the Mid-Atlantic Leather Family 2013. It was a cookout and fundraiser for the travel fund to Dallas TX for Sir Robert Bowden (Leather Sir), boy quinton (Leather boy) and me (Community Bootblack) for the International Leather Sir/boy - International Community Bootblack contest at the end of the month. Our supporters came out en masse to donate what they could and to cheer us on with their encouragement and the hope that we will come home to the Mid-Atlantic Region with the international titles. Cowboi Jen and Tina came down from Philadelphia PA to add their voices and area to the happiness of the party. Boy Darren (who drove down for a visit to Baltimore MD from the Midwest area) joined us with Sir John Krikorian, Boy John and Boy David. boy quinton came with his Daddy and his partner from Delaware. I cannot name all who attended but they included friends and extended Leather family. Before we got down to the serious (!) tradition of the send off cake, Sir Hooker took a moment to wish David Pug Spellman a Happy Birthday with a special cake just for him. Everyone at the party cheered and wished him a better year.


Happy Birthday, dear Pug!

Sir Hooker started the introductions and send off speech and then handed the microphone to Sir John Krikorian to finish up. And then the fun of "sharing" the cupcakes that comprised the send off cake began -- ending with the regional titleholders decorated with icing! Fun and silly times. *giggles*
