Belles & Chimes Recap: The Kickback

Hey Belles!,

On Thursday, August 8th, ten of us met up at The Kickback Bar for five rounds of pinball and a little photography shoot for a local magazine! Patrick Stutz of Madison Magazine hung out with us for a while, and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you all.

We had two newbies, including one who drove from Iowa!

We received a generous donation from one Belle and her husband. Thank you! In case you didn’t know, all money collected from sign-up fees goes directly back to Belles. This helps us craft trophies, buy filaments for 3D-printed items, purchase merchandise, and cover IFPA fees for our events. We do our best to balance expenses while saving a little for extra prizes.

We are always accepting donations for prizes whether it is from your own hobby, swag from your favorite business, or cash. We’ll even take crafty individuals who want to help craft unique creations for our next Belles event!
