Okay…it has been forever since I posted here…have been posting on FB lately..just don't have the time to manage all the sites lol. And as you can see posting a bit late the Thanksgiving images but thought it was a good start to get back. I might start posting once a month here so I don't forget about sheltersky :) I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving (for those who celebrate it )! And now count down to Christmas & other winter holidays..!!

Check It Out! Latino Fest of Monmouth County (LFOMC)

2010-10-11T13:13:00.001-04:00

****************************************************************************

Hey everyone! Hope you can check out some of the Photos I took at the Latino Fest of Monmouth County, NJ. I thought I would post some photos of the performances from the Festival. More of my photos may be found through LFOMC.

One of the Main Singers from the Festival was Veronica Kole. She is the Youth Ambassador for the American Diabetes Association and is involved with Child Abuse Prevention Programs. Veronica is only 16 years old and already extremely talented and a Great Role Model for the Young Generation that follow her and her music. Along with Veronica Kole, another great young band performed at the Fest. They call themselves, The Rocknroll Chorus! There were perhaps at least 10 performances throughout the day including a Salsa Band and a fantastic Mariachi Band.

Here are some links for you to check out that talk about the Festival and the of the Bands!

I love to rave all about the Book Barn but I think the excerp below which was taken from their website paints quite an image that truly reads this historical Five Story Barn from 1822. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to take some images for you here...hope you enjoy and check them out!

..excerpt taken from their website..

click here:http://www.bookbarn.com/home.htm

Deep in the heart of the enchanting and historical Brandywine Valley in Chester County, Pennsylvania resides one of America’s truly distinctive bookstores. Baldwin’s Book Barn is a five-story antiquarian bookstore housed in a rustic dairy barn built in 1822 by Quakers Brinton and Sarah Darlington. In 1934, William and Lilla Baldwin established their used book and collectible business nearby and then moved to “The Barn” in 1946. The old milking house was converted into a residence for the Baldwin Family and the stone barn became the bookshop and, for some years, a country store museum.

Step inside and you are transported to another time and place. Today, our store is stuffed to the rafters with a treasure trove of 300,000 used and rare books, manuscripts, maps as well as fine paintings, prints and estate antiques, and other valued collectibles.Baldwin's Book Barn has also become a major seller on the internet with thousands of online listings in various marketplaces. From best-selling new books, to rare antiquarian treasures, the Book Barn has it all.Baldwin's Book Barn has also become a major seller on the internet with thousands of online listings in various marketplaces.

I realized that I have not done a "meet the people series" in some time! Well, I think it is about that time:) A couple months ago, while visiting the town of West Chester in Pennsylvania, I came across a wonderful old barn while taking photos. Aside from being hypnotized by its presence, I saw a sign that read, "Baldwin's Book Barn". How fascinating and wonderfully creative! I was about to take a step into an adventure..a true classic!
