I arrived around 8pm on January 27th for the Snowcoming Dance held at the St. Tammany Lodge in Hampton, VA.  There were so many people there!  It was fun and there were several baskets that you could buy raffle tickets for to win.  The one I really wanted to win was the T-shirt that said, “I’m Mom J’s favorite” but Ella Pendleton won that one.  We danced and had lots of fun and the food that they had at concessions was good too.   Some moms even started to dance but that embarrassed Kate so she was seen hiding behind a tree. We danced until almost 10:30 pm when the lights came up and they were taking down the decorations.  Several Rainbow Girls were there from the Manassas Assembly #13: Katie, Kate, Delanie, Zoey, Vanessa, Mackenzie, M’Balu, Batu, Joella, Jazmyn, Sami, Gigi, and me along with our pledge Ella.  Many of our adults were there too and included:  Dad Clancy, Mom Priscilla, Mom Paula, Mom Ange, and Mom Robin, Mom Joanne, and Mom Louisa.

After our beautiful Richmond and Fredericksburg Grand Visitation, we went out for further celebration at Skate Nation to go play Laser Tag. Attending this event were Richmond Girls, our out of state guests from Ohio (which was the Grand Worthy Advisor Katie and some of her Grand Officers), and our Grand Worthy Advisor Libbie. It was lots of fun and a good way to know our out of state guests.

I highly enjoyed hanging out with my Rainbow Sisters at our first Pass the Torch event in quite a while. I’m very thankful the Masons of Washington and Henry Lodge for allowing us to use their building. We started with pizza and cookies thanks to Dad Gray, Mom Jackson, and the baking talents of Mom Bristow-Gray. We then began crafting our walk-ins for Installation. It was a fun time of socializing, vine quoting, and all-out goofiness. Pass the Torch was an absolute blast, pun intended. Perhaps the best part was being able to take home leftovers. 

The Richmond and Fredericksburg Grand Visitation was great! Katie Ricketts, the Grand Worthy Advisor from Ohio, and some of her officers were there in attendance visiting Virginia Rainbow for the weekend. We preformed Opening and Sierra, our Worthy Advisor, introduced all of our guests. Fredericksburg performed closing. We then did our presentation and skit and Fredericksburg did a program about Rainbow. We then all gathered in the Reception area and ate. This was exciting because it was my first Grand Visitation.
