Description from Cuban Queen Crazy Chick: Every year, my husband and I throw a Latino Festival here in Kingston. This Sunday will be our 7th one! We always have a big turnout, and it's lots of fun. Live music, dancing, great food, lots of vendors. It started out as a block party and turned into something much bigger! So if anyone is in the area this Sunday, come down and check us out! :D

Southern Chick says:I WISH I lived close to you! I would love to taste some of the wonderful food! Wouldn’t it be fun for all the chicks to have a festival?
Love this pick,too, Ivy!
Have fun…I’ll be dreaming of the super food and fun!

CAS says:Ivy, Debbi and I are coming from her house on Saturday, Jeanne said she was coming on Saturday too. What time would you like us???? (send me directions from Saugites, I can get us that far)
I’m so excited!
On Jul 14, 2009 at 12:00 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Great!! I’m really looking forward to meeting some fellow chicks!
It’s very easy to get here from Saugerties, I’ll send you a message.

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Donna, I wish you lived closer, too!
Hey, us chicks, we should do a BEAD CHICK festival!!
On Jul 14, 2009 at 12:06 pm #
Mary S - Sweet Chick says:OK. I’ve come up with another commandment.

Thou shalt not feel jealous when other Chicks get to meet!
You girls have fun this weekend!
Just so you know, I have disobeyed this commandment. I am SO jealous, and like Lynn, I wish we were closer!!!!
Eat some great food for me. Let me know how I liked it!
On Jul 14, 2009 at 12:10 pm #
Southern Chick says:Hey Mary…great commandment! I know the feeling. Does anyone know how many chicks have actually met? I saw a pic of 2 chicks that met…I don’t remember the names, though. Ivy, post pictures please of your fellow chickies.

On Jul 14, 2009 at 1:05 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Thanks, Kitty Mom and Jen! I wish I could make something from these beads, but I’m not too good at mixing lots of colors in one piece.
On Jul 14, 2009 at 1:27 pm #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Cool pix, Cuban Queen! Would love to be there! What state is Kingston in?
On Jul 14, 2009 at 3:14 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:She’s in NY, Debra……..so far away…….LOL
Donna, I know that Chicky Babe/Christine and Sparkle Chick/Debbi have met and that Plucky Chick and Cotopaxi Chickie Sue have met. The rest of us just wander the countryside looking for Chickies to meet up with. LOL

Chicky Bear-Tara says:I meant pics as in pictures…not picks!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 4:55 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Wonderful photos, Ivy!!! Thanks for sharing them! Do you have any with the Chicks in them?
On Jul 21, 2009 at 4:56 pm #
Jane MS says:What a great pick and perfectly captures the festival. Awesome job.
On Jul 21, 2009 at 4:58 pm #
Mayan Chick - Lilly says:Awww…looks like it was a lot fun. Makes me want to go dancing this weekend.
On Jul 21, 2009 at 4:58 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:LOL I mean besides you, Crazy Chick! LOL
You look fabulous, BTW!!!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:03 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Hi, girls! Thank you! It was A LOT of work, but so worth it and so much fun. The first pic is of my kids in the bounce house and the third one is of my hubby on stage with the band. (I know, it came out blurry – too much sun!) Lynn, no, the chicks didn’t end up coming. I was supposed to meet with them Saturday but I was in the city. Maybe next year!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:07 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Now I know why I was confused and thought your festival was on Saturday, Ivy! They posted photos of the 3 of them together from Saturday and I just assumed it was on the way to the festival. Duh — you know what they say about assuming. Plus they had talked about going to it, so I just figured that’s were they were headed. Hopefully, they’ll be able to make it next year. Hope you don’t have to wait that long to meet up with them!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:08 pm #
CAS says:Ivy it looks like it was a huge success, despite all of the headaches you and Roberto had leading up to it.
I wish we could have been there, but I think our plan to meet on a weekday is more feasible because we’ll get to spend more time with you!
Lynn, we didn’t get to go to Ivy’s because of her ex having her come pick up the kids for the weekend. It would have been a time nightmare, so we’ve postponed.
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:13 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I figured there was a Chicky-good reason! LOL It does make a lot more sense to meet up sometime when Ivy will be able to actually spend time with all of you. LOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:13 pm #
CAS says:Okay Ivy, who’s the smoking hottie in blue on your left (the right when looking at the picture) in your picture???????
The kids look like they were having the time of their lives. It’s so nice that when they’re older they’ll be able to look back at all of the fun they had every year.
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:14 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Yeah, Ivy, I noticed you didn’t ID Mr. Standing on Your Left! LOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:14 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I’m so happy all your children got to be there for the fun and good times, too!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:16 pm #
Mayan Chick - Lilly says:LOL! You ladies are funny!
yeah, Ivy who is that?
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:17 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Inquiring Chicky minds want to know…….ROTFLOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:22 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:He he
I guess he works with Candela (somewhat-famous Spanish rapper, btw!), but it turns out that he knows my mom from when she worked at the bank! He does security for a local branch of Bank of America. LOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:23 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Talk about your small world, Ivy!
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:24 pm #
CAS says:Oooooooo … is he single?????? And is he Mom approved??????
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:24 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I think your Dad might need to OK him, too, Christine! LOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:25 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:First of all, does he earn enough money to pay for beads? ROTFLOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:26 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Second, does he have a large enough residence to house all the beads? ROTFLOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:27 pm #
CAS says:Yes … gainfully employed is up there on the considerations list. LOL
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:27 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Third, is he the type to complain when (not if!) he steps on stray beads or finds them all over the above-mentioned residence in the oddest of places?
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:31 pm #
Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:LOL I know, it’s crazy! Umm, yes, I don’t think he has any problems in the financial department.
I have his card and apparently he owns a magazine and record company! Don’t know if he’s single, though, I didn’t ask
On Jul 21, 2009 at 5:32 pm #
CAS says:Well ……..
