One Spark Recap -- WE PLACED 9th!

One Spark 2015 -- we placed 9th in our category of Art, 55th overall out of about 550 projects. "Sally Ann Vintage Fashion Truck" was our project, and we proposed our expansion into a drivable fashion truck, upgrading from our little pull behind.

The festival took place from April 8th-12th, five long days hanging out in downtown Jacksonville. My business partner, Jenna Richey, and I were seeking $15k for the expansion. We were also "selling" vintage clothing with certain suggested donation values to help our project.

"Pitching" the project idea to about 100 people on Forsyth on day two. Who needs written speeches when I could just wing it! The crowd and thousands of people we were able to speak to over the course of the festival really gave us the motivation and drive to keep on pursuing this project. 

And while placing 9th didn't get us funded, it still got the word out there about our business. A vintage and sustainable fashion truck is something our city needs, and we're going to deliver.

Jacksonville spoke, and we heard you. Thank you so much for everyone for their support and positive encouragement. More news on the expansion coming soon!
