News team in the shop!
We had an exciting morning today... the local news station, KVAL Channel 13 of Eugene Oregon, was here to do an interview with Cassidy and Patricia Parker. Patricia is the organizer for Kids For Kids, the charity Cassidy supports with her Playful Pancakes. Patriciais visiting from the United Kingdom for two weeks - a week in Oregon and a week in California. She is giving talks and meeting with people every day while here. She is a BUSY woman.
They did the interview here at Soft Star so the news team could see where many of the raw materials for the Playful Pancakes comes from and where the Pancakes are sold via the web. All three versions of the interview are now up on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kids+darfur+kval Check it out!
