The Handcar Regatta event took place last weekend here in Santa Rosa Ca.

This all happened a block from my shop and was a really amazing event for our town. Moving art, music, dance, tons of people in fantastic costumes - fun fun fun ! So many people from the community got into the spirit and volunteered, created art, promoted and dressed up !
We were selling goggles and hats , keys and even very damaged Victorian clothes like mad !

First are some pics of my customer dressed in pieces from my shop...

And some pics of the Handcar Race entries...

Looks like a one-in-a-million kind of celebration, and glad it brought lots of traffic to your shop!

I couldn't even imagine what a "handcar regatta" might be--the entries in your photos are SO creative and wonderful...

thanks for sharing...
